Kraftsamlingens national conference
We have collected takeaways and recordings (in Swedish) of all the interesting on-stage discussions as well as some of the conversations held around the tables.
"With Collaboration for AI in Municipalities and Civil Society, the aim has been to empower and encourage municipalities and civil society organizations to begin working with artificial intelligence. Now that this is happening, we can clearly see what support these groups need to move forward," says Rebecka Lönnroth
Head of AI Adoption for Public Sector.
