In February 2020, the Latvian government released its National AI Strategy on Developing Artificial Intelligence Solutions.

The Investment and Development Agency of Latvia, in collaboration with different stakeholders, is developing a knowledge-intensive bioeconomy strategy for R&I. This strategy integrates aspects of digitalisation within the sector, including the application of AI. The strategy is accompanied by an action plan with defined timelines.

This research-driven initiative aims at advancing AI applications across different sectors. Key projects include: i) developing AI-driven governance solutions for software supply chain security; ii) using AI to optimise retail discounts and stock management; and iii) AI/ML-driven analysis and classification of user-generated digital content to improve decision-making in digital environments.

This foundational AI training programme for 1,000 public administration employees is structured into four modules: i) Introduction to AI, ii) AI Concepts and Applications, iii) AI Issues and Ethics, and iv) Future and Practical Use of AI. It aims to improve AI literacy in public administration and encourage AI adoption in government services.
