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.
