Through a holistic approach, working with technology, law, data and education, we are exploring within the same project all perspectives required to succeed. A prototype, “Svea”, is being developed to be tested in the operations to measure real effects and through actual use prove the value of a common LLM-based assistant.

To us, artificial intelligence is not only about tech, it’s a force for positive societal change. To work here, you don’t need to know “everything” about AI, but you need to believe in its potential to help shape our society for the better. Some of our colleagues are leading AI experts, but far from all of us are as technically well versed. You'll be working alongside journalists, linguists, policy professionals, leading AI-scientists, historians, entrepreneurs, change leaders, and many more.

At AI Sweden, you’ll be part of a diverse and highly skilled team with inspiring colleagues all working with a higher purpose in mind than “just” tech.

As an organization, we’re uniquely positioned at the sweet spot of governmental oomph and startup nimbleness. Small enough to stay adaptive and have fun but backed by and in close contact with both state and industry, both private and public. A hybrid, just like you.

And, we can most certainly be a platform helping you realize your ideas. Bring a good one, big or small, and we most likely will support and co-create with you.

In short, we like to believe we offer our staff a place to grow, an environment for personal development.

Listen to Johanna, Vinutha, and Martin to hear what they say about working at AI Sweden.

We strongly believe in diversity and inclusion and are acutely aware of the skewed gender balance in our industry. We actively strive to put together a diverse team in terms of age, gender and background.

Naturally, we’re under a collective agreement (“kollektivavtal”) and offer everything that comes with it in terms of annual leave, pensions, wellness allowance (“friskvårdsbidrag”), and such.

Application closes December 15th and the position will be placed in Gothenburg och Stockholm. If you have any questions or thoughts, don’t hesitate for a second to contact [email protected]or [email protected].
