New initiative will facilitate the introduction of AI solutions in public sector

The offer aimed at public organizations that in the near future want to use AI solutions in their own operations. They can now have their AI project assessed by experts free of charge to evaluate potential and feasibility. In this way, the organizations can act faster and at the same time ensure that the solutions are of high quality and deliver real benefits for limited public funds.

Through this effort, we help to ensure quality assured project, short lead times and build competence to quickly benefit, says Daniel Rencrantz, head of department at Vinnova.

AI can make a big difference in a number of public activities, for example it can be about decision support in health care, advanced analyzes in social services or adaptive tools for the school. But assessing different project is often a time-consuming process.
