At the forefront of artificial intelligence

At AI Labs, we shape the future of Artificial Intelligence. Here, our partners collaborate in the development of their capabilities in parallel with developing high-value AI solutions and infrastructure for creating AI.

Our current focus areas are Natural Language Understanding, Edge Learning (mobility, health, Space, infrastructure), and AI & Security.

The brightest minds in AI research and infrastructure 

In AI Labs you can engage with top-of-the-line infrastructure and some of the brightest minds in infrastructure and AI research. We continuously have top students and engineers from our partners working with us at AI Sweden.

Cross-sector exchange

The collaboration of great minds and diverse backgrounds is designed to provide you and your organization with what is needed to succeed in the rapidly evolving landscape.

An edge from speed and boldness

The “secret sauce” enabling us to stay at the forefront of development is based on our ability to quickly form projects, co-locate great minds, and provide access to advanced infrastructure; AI Labs help partners gain a competitive edge.

Our infrastructure is built on a dual-structure

Consortiums 

These consortiums provide platforms and context for leading developers, data scientists, students, and researchers from several sectors, including mobility, NLU, health, space, finance, and AI security. They enable a collaborative environment with infrastructure developers to explore joint focus areas.

Software

When it comes to AI projects, you want to make sure that they scale. You want to test close by where you are, where you have people and equipment. Then you want to distribute that maybe globally to all the other environments that you have. That is one of the biggest winning themes of being here at the Edge Learning Lab.

Stories from the AI Labs

In our cross-sector collaborative environment, AI Labs' work can uncover new and unexpected synergies. Projects are often included in one of our consortiums, which enables them to draw on progress made in adjacent domains. For example, you may find development done for the healthcare domain applicable to the space domain. Findings can then be shared and spread throughout the AI Sweden ecosystem through the work of AI Sweden’s Adoption and Ecosystem teams.

A growing number of AI Sweden partners are engaging directly within the labs, finding that this hands-on approach significantly fast-tracks their AI development journey.

As a startup, developing tools for ‘edge learning’, specifically federated learning, having an infrastructure like the Edge Lab is invaluable. It is somewhere we can test our software in real production-like environments and collaborate with some of the best enterprises in Sweden on this.

Natural Language Understanding

Natural Language Understanding (NLU) will be key for making the most of AI and enables tasks as wide-ranging as using voice assistants at home to a reliable automatization of certain social services. To accelerate innovation, development of applications, and implementation in this area, NLU therefore constitutes one of AI Sweden’s strategic initiatives.
