Joakim Wahlqvist at executive summit on scaling AI, a topic we will also bring up in upcoming events in Sweden. Lots of good content and updated point of view on a fast evolving topic! #ai Sogeti We still believe a lot in starting simple, close to business value and users. With validated value and adoption, it is easier to scale and decide to scale and invest in such a journey, because then it makes sense, and ROI case has a much higher chance of success and users and stakeholders will want to be part of such a journey. Build on pull, less push!

Earlier this week, the Swedish AI Commission's Roadmap for Sweden was presented to the Swedish Government, highlighting the need for political action and significantly increased investment in AI education, innovation, and ecosystem initiatives. Ericsson was represented in the Commission by Börje Ekholm.   One of the report's key insights is the vital role of telecom, particularly the expansion of 5G, in enabling AI-driven solutions. 5G‘s faster and more robust data transmission is essential for AI systems that require real-time processing of large data volumes. Accordingly, for the successful development of AI, it is crucial to achieve better 5G mid-band coverage and upgrade to 5G standalone (SA). With 5G SA, operators can tailor network capacity to specific customer needs, enhancing the reliability and stability of connections. This upgrade is necessary to introduce the new functionalities and services that future AI applications will require.   But this is not just a matter for Sweden. As other regions are racing ahead in the deployment of 5G mid-band and standalone networks, as well as in private investments in AI, it is crucial that actions are now taken on national and EU level to ensure market conditions that encourage investment in digital infrastructure. AI and 5G together have the potential to transform how industries benefit from technology and to be the growth engine that Europe so badly needs.    #5G #AI #aikommissionen Börje Ekholm Erik Ekudden Mikael Bäck

According to this fresh AI report, the use of AI is largely viewed positively, especially in Finland, but almost half of organisations do not yet use AI at all and only 15% have an AI strategy. 🤖 Finland is a leader in AI in the Nordics, with 61% of Finnish organisations using AI, compared to 52% in Norway, 48% in Denmark and 45% in Sweden. Currently, AI is used in organizations especially to boost productivity and optimize operations: 43% of organizations use AI to automate processes and 42% to improve the quality of products or services. Almost half (49%) of Nordic organisations, especially small companies, do not yet use AI at all. According to the study, the biggest obstacle to adoption is uncertainty or lack of information about the potential applications of artificial intelligence.

Lessons Learned from the CDOIQ Nordic Community Pre-Summit 2024: According to experienced data leaders, key factors for successful Data Leadership are Systems Thinking, Data Quality by Design, and Empowering Business Leaders. You can read more about them in the DAMA-FI website. On May 16th, several non-profit organizations organized the first-ever CDOIQ Nordic Community Pre-Summit to share their thoughts on strategic data leadership and the data economy. During the morning sessions, speakers from various industries, ranging from manufacturing to healthcare, shared their insights on the empirical challenges and potential solutions associated with leading and sharing data. This article delves deeper into these topics. Before lunch, participants engaged in a Data Leadership Self-Assessment Survey. This brief survey was designed to stimulate discussion among business, technology, and data leaders on the critical issues necessary for success in data-driven business improvement and innovation. In the afternoon, speakers introduced practical frameworks that have enabled numerous companies to enhance collaboration among their business, data, and ICT stakeholders. We will publish an article about these Practical Frameworks to Succeed as a Data-Driven Company soon. The CDOIQ Nordic Community Pre-Summit was organized by CDOIQ Nordic Community Partners, such as ICT Leaders Finland ILF and DAMA Finland ry, theme associations of TIVIA ry, and MyData Global, an award-winning international association gathering data activists who aim for a more fair, sustainable, and prosperous digital society for all. The event was hosted by Aalto University Executive Education and Professional Development and sponsored by Cloud1 Oy and Workday. https://lnkd.in/d_UrRa9s #DAMA #DAMAFinland #CDO #CDOIQ #CDOIQNordic #ICTLeadersFinland #MyData #Tivia #Cloud1 #Workday

There are many ways to benchmark LLMs - is there a consensus which benchmarks can be used for Nordic languages or should we create one? The current ones used in research often rely on logprobs so can't be used with API based models. PS. phi-3 performance is quite wild

In the Technology & Innovation area led by Claudia Nemat,  we are constantly exploring the latest AI tools to enhance #software #development.  While we already utilize #GitHub #Copilot, we recognize the wealth of alternative #AI tools available in the market. Currently, we are evaluating #Codeium.  My initial impression is that it is on par with Copilot.  Codeium offers a compelling advantage:  * it's free for individual developers and  * can be hosted on-premise, ensuring that company #code remains secure within our own data centers. This makes Codeium a promising AI tool for #developers.  Check out my video to see it in action:  https://lnkd.in/eH56XV4C André Wroblewski, Nadja Kollmer-Siefert, Zimin Chen, Michael Goeb, Dr. Michael Herzog-Fismer

Thanks Björn Olofsson and Linda Borelius From Solita for Hosting #DBT meetup today in Stockholm! 🇸🇪 - Ludwig Sewall presented on using #AI for migrating legacy #ETL code to #DBT. Learnings that AI 🤖 can be a serious productivity booster in developing but don’t expect it to do everything……complex Prompt engineering, edge cases and hidden errors can be problematic. => AI should be the assitent not the driver! -Fernando Brito inspired us to build automation with dbt metadata! Real use case from a hackathon he did with VOI => Every dbt project exposes metadata that can be used to introspect and augment the project itself.

We've just released the latest Deloitte report on the state of #GenerativeAI in the Nordics, and it's worth a read. While 77% of Nordic enterprises are boosting investments due to proven value, leadership engagement lags compared to global peers. This disconnect is holding us back from fully scaling. 🤔 Picking up from my post from yesterday on how Europe must bolster innovation to match the U.S. in AI - our report reveals a critical insight for the Nordics: We're pushing investments, but lagging in top-level leadership engagement. With potential regulatory divergence as the U.S. opts for lighter controls under Trump, our region can't afford to just observe. We need leadership willing to scale ambitions and take calculated risks. Are we up for it? Link to full report in comments.

Mainframe & AI - is there a future? We see the use of generative AI on the #mainframe is becoming a game changer. Kyndryl’s Mainframe Modernization Survey highlights that 86% of business and IT leaders are deploying or planning to deploy generative AI on the mainframe. Also, mainframes are increasingly becoming the cornerstone of a #hybridcloud environment. Our collaboration with Storebrand exemplifies this trend. As one of Norway’s largest financial services providers, Storebrand is at the forefront of integrating its mainframe estate with cutting-edge cloud and AI technologies. This enables them to balance the security and reliability of the mainframe with the flexibility and scalability of the cloud. As more organizations follow suit, we expect to see a significant transformation in how businesses harness the full potential of their IT. Read more about the survey findings below and reach out if you’d like to know how Kyndryl can support you in transforming your hybrid IT environment.  #MainframeModernization #AI #TheHeartOfProgress John Kristian Sandvik Johanna Samuelsson Nils Stautland Kris Blöndal Charlotte Berg Petra Goude
