Afternoon workshops

Deepen your expertise and influence the future through workshops led by AI Sweden’s experts. These sessions focus on hands-on applications and discussions tied to the morning presentations. Workshop participation is limited, so register early to secure your preferred track:

How can regulation boost innovation? - For collaboration while maintaining compliance
With Johan Östman, Mats Nordlund and Fazeleh Hoseini

The future of data - Future proof data sets, Data stewardships, Copyrights - Where is the solution for creating datasets/models in Sweden that do not cause conflicts with copyright - e.g. limiting application?
With Danila Petrelli, Billy Jörgensen and Helena Theander

AI & Security Brainstorm: Promising Applications and Pressing Issues -The goal of this workshop is ignite stimulating conversations centered around two topics:  identifying where AI is poised to make the biggest gains in boosting security, and conversely, identifying the vulnerabilities in AI that are most problematic.
With Tommy Schönberg, Robert Bridges and José-Marie Griffiths

Testing and experimentation - How can we learn about our infrastructure and AI models through tests and experiments?
With Ted Henriksson and Max Petersson

Maximizing the benefits from our talent programs - How AI Sweden in collaboration with partners accelerate innovation through the strategic use of talent.

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.
