🦾 Panel discussion at the 'AI in the nation's interest' event
Sweden should invest in that, the usage. For example, through an AI deduction, or an AI voucher. Every Swede gets a few hundred kronor each month to buy AI services with.
In the picture above, I show with my hand how the threshold is lowered. That was my message at the major AI conference "AI in the nation's interest".
I participated in the final panel together with Katrin Westling Palm, Director General of the Swedish Tax Agency, Professor Anders Ynnerman, and Daniel Akenine, National Technology Officer at Microsoft.
The real breakthrough with generative AI is that we can now control the machines with our natural language. Therefore, the threshold has been significantly lowered. One does not need to know how to code to program. A tone-deaf person can create music. A dyslexic can write beautiful prose.
So, how do we make AI work in the nation's interest? For Sweden, in this case. But really, for any country.
Well, the country that uses AI the most and the best will take the lead. Usage is the key. From this comes a lot of productivity gains, but above all, a lot of creativity is unleashed. When the tone-deaf can create music, new music will be created. Which previously was stuck in their head. So it looks, differently, in everyone's heads. When all that is unleashed, a tsunami of creativity will come.
From this, new companies will be created. Small, large, and some gigantic. Perhaps the first one-person company with a valuation of a billion dollars? But also new forms of expression, services, ways of communicating, and much more.
Therefore, Sweden should invest in that, the usage. For example, through an AI deduction, or an AI voucher. Every Swede gets a few hundred kronor each month to buy AI services with.
