Theme: Swedish Public Agencies’ Use of AI - Challenges and Opportunities

The roundtable dinner was held as part of the government's follow-up on the Swedish Government’s recent inquiry on how twentyfive national public agencies are using and planning to use AI. The emphasis has been placed on improving staff competence and fostering inter-agency collaboration.

The dinner discussions revealed a strong interest among agencies in using AI but highlighted challenges such as legal uncertainties, lack of coordination, and risk aversion. Participants stressed the need for clearer guidelines, legal support, better training (especially for legal and leadership roles), and platforms to share best practices and foster innovation.
