AI Act in focus: AI Sweden and Almi launch joint knowledge-sharing initiative

As AI becomes increasingly integrated across various industries, it is vital that organizations of all sizes understand the legal frameworks governing its use. AI Sweden's partner network, comprising over 160 members, has identified a significant need among Swedish organizations to grasp the technical, organizational, and legal implications of the EU's AI Regulation.

To address this need, AI Sweden and Almi, with the support of experts from PwC Sweden, Scania, and the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY), have created a series of six freely accessible recorded video sessions. These resources offer a clear and easily digestible overview of the key aspects of the AI Regulation.

These knowledge-sharing sessions will cover crucial areas such as an introduction to AI law, an overview of the AI Regulation, the different defined actor roles (provider, deployer, importer, distributor), risk classification of AI systems, and the associated responsibilities and requirements for these risk classes. A final session will focus on the practical application of the AI Regulation and how to stay informed.

The content of these resources is ensured through the expert knowledge of representatives from AI Sweden (including Tilde Skånvik from Lindholmen Science Park), Charlotte Arnell (PwC Sweden), and Patrik Kägu (Almi), as well as external experts from the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY) and Scania.
