The mission

The commission's mission is to strengthen Swedish competitiveness.

– The government decided yesterday to establish an AI commission to strengthen Swedish competitiveness. The AI commission will conduct a thorough review of Sweden's conditions – from education and legislation to how we attract international venture capital – so that Sweden can be competitive in the field, says Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson.

– Used correctly, AI can contribute to increased innovation capacity, strengthened competitiveness, improved welfare, and more efficient public administration. We must ensure that Sweden takes advantage of the opportunities while managing the risks to fully realize the potential of AI. We need concrete proposals that lead to better conditions for competitive, secure, and ethical AI development in Sweden, both within public administration and the private sector, says Minister for Civil Affairs Erik Slottner.
