Comment
In order to accelerate the introduction of AI, it is mentioned that Sweden needs pilot projects, testbeds and environments for the development of AI in the public sector.
Sweden aims to take the lead in ethical, safe, secure and sustainable use of AI. Therefore, an ethical and regulatory framework is required with principles, norms, standards and rules to balance fundamental needs for privacy, ethics, trust and social protection with access to the data needed for AI.
The strategy recognises data as the lifeblood of AI. It also highlight that the Swedish public sector already has a high amount of high quality data. Hence the usage of those data for AI development is considered a key aspect.
