Initiative overview
The Government has decided to assign 25 national authorities to report on their use of AI. The rapid development of AI provides good opportunities to improve the authorities' services, but today there is no overall picture of what the use of AI looks like.The assignment includes reporting on what collaborations exist with other authorities and what training or other competence-enhancing initiatives have been offered to the staff. The authorities must also report on the challenges linked to ethics, law and security.The assignments will give the government a better picture of how government agencies both use AI today and how to plan for its use in the future. This is a prerequisite for being able to take advantage of the opportunities and at the same time manage the risks associated with the technology. Collaborations between authorities on the development and use of AI can also lead to significant efficiency improvements. Presenting such a broad assignment to several government agencies is part of the Government's concerted effort in digitalisation policy, with the aim of ensuring Sweden's role as a leading research nation, an ambitious welfare nation and an advanced industrial nation.
