Emma Lennartsson

The record-fast technological shift creates many opportunities, but also risks. Most important for the responsible use of AI is that we remain curious and ensure that we continuously learn more about AI's capabilities and limitations. In this way, we can ensure the responsible use of AI. AI Sweden has a very important role to play here for society as a whole, and I look forward to contributing to the steering committee's work.
