Sweden's AI Strategy: Seven Steps to Scale Trusted AI

By Anna Felländer, co-founder of Asenion and President of Asenion Europe

Sweden has published its national AI strategy. Asenion stands ready to help organizations bridge the gap between tech teams and compliance teams to meet the requirements for high-risk AI under the EU AI Act.

Without trust, AI adoption stagnates. To scale AI, the first step is control and oversight of ethical and legal risks.

Start with these seven steps

1. Establish ethical AI principles.
2. Appoint a responsible person or function for AI governance.
3. Move from silos to cross-functional orchestration across business, tech and compliance.
4. Identify clear AI-driven gains: measurable efficiency improvements and enhanced customer value.
5. Evaluate the AI solution's risk at the design stage. Uncertainty about what falls into the AI Act's high-risk category creates risk aversion; clarity brings freedom.
6. Integrate explicit ethical trade-offs into all processes and measure them against your ethical principles. Report measurable risk and ROI indicators from an integrated tech, compliance and business perspective.
7. Ensure strong leadership that incentivizes enhancing every process and task with AI, based on the audit processes already in place.
