AI for decision makers
AI is changing the world that your organization operates in, whether you are in the private or public sector. For AI to become a tool that helps you create value and solve challenges, you need to make deliberate choices. As a decision maker, you have to understand artificial intelligence. Not the technical details, but what AI can do.
It does not matter if you work in the public or private sector, or at the national level, leading Sweden forward. Regardless of sector, artificial intelligence opens up new opportunities. Adopting AI requires making strategic decisions. Make sure that the right stakeholders are involved. Prioritize between use cases. Build partnerships with leading experts. Allocate substantial and appropriate resources. Foster an environment for organizational learning.
Wherever you are on your AI journey, AI Sweden offers several resources to support you.

An AI strategy for Sweden
Sweden needs to maximize the value of using artificial intelligence. To accelerate this development, AI Sweden has now formulated an AI strategy for Sweden.
As a decision maker, you do not need deep technical knowledge about artificial intelligence. But you do need to understand what AI can do – both as a force that transforms the reality your organization exists in, and, more importantly, as a tool to generate value within your organization.
If you want to strengthen your strategic understanding of AI, explore our executive program “AI for executives” which is designed for non-technical decision makers who want to develop their understanding of how to strategically implement AI in their organization. The program is developed by the executive education units at Stockholm University, Uppsala University, and Gothenburg University, in collaboration with AI Sweden.
You can also listen to our podcast AI Sweden podcast and take the self-paced, free course “Get started with AI”, and then continue with “Level up”.

For organizations to truly adopt AI, it is necessary to change ways of working, processes, and structures. This makes it a question for decision-makers and top levels of every organization. To embark on this transformative journey, organizations can use a step-by-step approach that focuses on key enablers —Technology, Data & Infrastructure, Organization, Ecosystem, and Expertise. By doing so, organizations can generate sustainable value using AI. Read more about how to adopt AI and accelerate your organization's AI maturity here.
To scale and move forward you need to understand where your organization stands today. Doing an AI maturity assessment is one way to understand the current state of your organization’s AI maturity and gives you a clear idea of where to go next.
Having an AI vision is another way to approach AI strategically. The AI Vision White Paper is a tool that helps organizations put an AI vision in place.
For partners to AI Sweden, there are talent programs you can join, ranging from a few weeks to 1.5 years, designed to address various partner needs while equipping participants with relevant and up-to-date AI skills.
Of course, recuriting is not the only option. We also offer resources for upskilling, so you can build AI competence from within.
Explore the use case library at My AI. But do not only look at what others in your sector do with AI. Since artificial intelligence is a general technology, we find that many organizations can learn from each other as they share the same challenges - do not hesitate to find inspiration outside of your sector as well.
AI Sweden also has sector-specific networks that might be of interest to you. Once you are a partner, get in touch with your key contact to get more information.
First, read more about the partnership. Second, find your sector contact and get in touch for further discussions.
Just as for any other organization - AI will be key for a well-functioning government. Read more about the organizational perspective here.
But perhaps even more important, AI is a key component for fulfilling almost every societal goal in a country. As a political decision maker, you will be making priorities for an entire sector or an entire country. Understanding the strategic, financial and political dimensions of AI will be crucial for any politician who wants to stay relevant.
