The technological development of Artificial Intelligence is rapidly evolving, and its use and implementation is changing and developing in unpredictable patterns. Responsible use of AI is at the heart of this initiative.
Objectives
The aim of this initiative is to generate excellent research activities that address shared Nordic and Nordic-Baltic societal challenges in the context of extensive use and implementation of AI in the region. The initiative should contribute to cross-border mobilisation of capacity and competence building among Nordic and Nordic-Baltic research communities and strengthen networks and collaborations.
Background
A strategic priority of the Nordic Council of Ministers is for the Nordic collaboration to contribute to a green, competitive and socially sustainable region. Responsible and ethical use of AI will be vital in achieving these priorities as well as many of the UN sustainability goals. Research is essential to be able to release the potential of technology solutions in a knowledgeable, responsible and ethically sound way.
