Important results from the project
The goal for the project is to enable, by the application of a knowledge based framework (the innovation), organisations to embrace AI in a Sustainable way. Is is expected to strengthen Swedish competitive power. Together with partners the innovation has been developed and tested. The center has expanded with a clear organisational structure for completed: - Multidisciplinary Reserach - Application and development of the Framework - Database with insights withdrawn from applying the Framework - Arena for spreading knowledge, results and upcoming regulation & policy implications.
Expected long term effects
Published interdisciplinary reports, seminars, panel debates have far exceeded expectations. Database w. unique insights is one of the first on the market. Distribution through blogs, newsletters and outreach has contributed to high web-site presence. Parts of the framework used as input to the EU´s High-level group on Trustworthy AI. It has been tested on about 70% of our partners. They have thus avoided pitfalls, strengthened responsibility, built long-term and competitive business models. Members in the center and employees have increased, Hållbar AI has been put on the agenda.
Approach and implementation
We have tested the innovation with partners, developed it with support from interdisciplinary research & the center´s experts. By applying the framework, specific AI ethical insights is gathered in a database. Without an interdisciplinary approach, collaboration betw the center´s actors & the framework, insights would not be possible. We have developed 1. the framework contributing to competitive business models & develop of standards 2. the center as leading hub 3. research as a basis for evidence-based development of the area. The center is a prerequisite for Sustainable use of AI
