The jury's citation: "For working, with inclusive, visionary, and generous leadership, to accelerate the use of AI at the individual, organizational, and societal levels. When politicians have hesitated, Martin Svensson has taken responsibility, driven development, and strengthened Swedish competitiveness. Under his leadership, AI Sweden has become a system-influencing force for accessibility, public education, and future infrastructure."

A unique national resource 

Since its start in 2019, AI Sweden has grown to become a unique national resource that combines technical excellence, organizational and operational understanding, and networks of relevant actors. AI Sweden today has over 170 partners in the business sector, public sector, civil society, and academia who invest and work together to overcome common challenges and realize the value of AI. 

AI Sweden also distinguishes itself internationally and has ongoing collaborations with Dakota State University, Unity Health Toronto, and OpenAI. In addition, AI Sweden is involved in several large European projects, including the groundbreaking project OpenEuroLLM, which aims to develop common open and transparent large language models for European languages.

"To keep pace with development, leaders in both the private and public sectors must see the potential and dare to invest. This is absolutely crucial for our future competitiveness and welfare," says Martin Svensson.
