Martin Svensson

Managing Director at AI Sweden

"AI will permeate all of society. We must harness the opportunities AI provides in both the private and public sectors. This requires knowledge and a willingness to experiment, where AI can contribute to increased efficiency and a thriving society. AI Sweden is a crucial player in this regard, and I look forward to working with AI Sweden's steering committee."

Ingrid Petersson
Chairperson, Lund University

"AI will fundamentally reshape Swedish businesses, yet only one in ten currently sees significant value from AI. Atea sees the potential for 80 percent efficiency gains in repetitive tasks, among many other things. I look forward to contributing my perspective to AI Sweden on how we can take the leap, across all of Sweden and within all sectors."

Linus Wallin
Managing Director, Atea Sweden

"We are at a pivotal time: for the climate, our preparedness, and society's ability to adapt. AI has the power to accelerate development in several parts of society, and I look forward to contributing to AI Sweden's important mission with perspectives from the energy transition, and with a strong commitment to innovation, sustainability, and long-term value creation."
