Vi har i ett tidigare inlägg diskuterat Sveriges styrkor relaterat till att skapa bra AI-lösningar. Men vilka är Sveriges svagheter?
Cybersäkerhet, IoT och Israel
I kedjan av uppkopplade prylar räcker det att hitta den svagaste länken för att få tillgång till i princip alla andra. Världen fick upp ögonen för hur sårbart “internet of things” är i samband med den stora Mirai-attacken 2016. Mirai var ett sabotageprogram som fick uppkopplade apparater att attackera webbsajter, bland annat blockerades servrar på hela östkusten i USA. Läs mer

Sommar i P1
The vacation is approaching and a popular tradition for many Swedes when relaxing during the summer is to listen to “Sommar i P1“. For those of you who do not have the tradition to listen to all of the speakers we have hand picked some of those persons that we at KTH Executive School will make sure to listen to during the summer. We have chosen some inspiring innovators, entrepreneurs, business managers and leaders to inspire you this summer.
Artificial intelligence – beyond the hype
The first time I came close to a practical implementation of machine learning, and really grasped the concept of artificial intelligence, was during my studies at KTH. A fellow classmate was part of a project at KI, Karolinska Institutet, in Solna. The aim of the project was to develop a model which used machine learning for image classification. In more detail, the algorithm determined the severity of bone fractures based on x-ray images, which freed up time for radiologists, who could focus on more difficult cases. Overall, it resulted in quicker, cheaper and perhaps more objective diagnoses as well as better allocation of resources. I was truly fascinated as I saw the potential in the methodology and a question has puzzled me ever since: if machine learning can replace doctors in certain parts of their profession, how can we explore and unleash AI’s full potential in further areas?
