“For our self-driving vehicles, AI is a prerequisite but we will use AI in many parts of our business like in production and in logistics. And since data is a strong asset within AI, [it] will benefit a lot of our 850,000 connected vehicles. We use that data, and will do so even more, to support our customers.”

AI Innovation of Sweden is a national and neutral initiative. The focus is on accelerating implementation of AI by means of sharing knowledge and data, co-location and collaboration projects, all with a strong focus on ethics, transparency and security.

AI Innovation of Sweden establishes shared resources, for example, the Data Factory, which will make data available in a new way and co-locates sites with the aim of improving collaboration, knowledge-sharing and the ability to attract talent.

More than 40 organisations and companies – from the industrial and academic worlds and the public sector – have signed up so far and more are expected.
