Nordic governments have initiated a groundbreaking project to establish the Nordic AI Centre (NAIC), aimed at enhancing security and business competitiveness across the region. This initiative, a commitment from Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and Norway, seeks to foster collaboration in AI, cyber security, and digitisation. The NAIC will be managed by Nordic Innovation (NI) and is set to officially launch in 2025, with preparatory work already underway.
The NAIC's mission is to bolster Nordic cooperation in AI to ensure the region remains competitive against global leaders like the US and China. A special working group, including AI Sweden and Digital Dogma, is tasked with developing operational frameworks for the centre. This collaborative effort is expected to yield significant societal benefits and address major challenges faced by Nordic countries.
