Government's AI investments mark a first step

Another important investment is the increased co-financing of the EU's DIGITAL program. This is crucial as it enables Swedish actors to participate in Europe's large-scale AI investments, thereby strengthening the country's innovative capacity and its role in the international development of AI.

"While these targeted funds are a very good start and the government's investments point in the right direction, they must be followed by sustained strategic and proactive work if Sweden is to fully utilize the opportunities of AI. Building a strong and internationally competitive ecosystem requires a broader approach and a continuous increase in ambition," concludes Moa Tivell, AI Sweden.
