About us

This group is for anyone interested in discussing the potential societal effects of artificial intelligence. Our mission is to raise awareness and provide a space for the discussion of the development of beneficial AI in a Swedish context. Whether you are a researcher, developer, policymaker, or are simply curious about the implications of AI, you are welcome to participate.

We host events every other Wednesday evening. Our events span a range of formats and topics, including discussions, lectures, and debates, and cover everything from technical and philosophical topics to political and societal impacts. We also host more casual social events where you can get know others in the area who want to better understand the huge potential impacts of this technology.

We're new to Meetup but have been around for a few years elsewhere. We hope to see you at an upcoming event!

[Workshop] Understanding Europe's AI Vision
Wed, Mar 18 · 6:00 PM CET
EA Sweden, Sveavägen 76, Stockholm, SE
Europe just announced a €200 billion bet on AI. The "AI Continent Action Plan" (released April 2025) lays out how the EU plans to compete with the US and China: through AI supercomputers, data sharing, talent pipelines, and yes, regulation.

But will it work? What does it mean in the Swedish context, and what's missing from the plan?

Join us for an interactive discussion where we'll dive into and debate the EU's strategy. No previous policy experience is required to participate, just curiosity about how billion-euro decisions shape the technology in all of our lives.

During the event you will work with other participants to audit one section of the plan (infrastructure, data, adoption, skills, or regulation), before discussing your findings with the group. Together we’ll connect the dots, deepen our understanding of the plan, and question where it falls short.

Before the event: Read the Action Plan (25 pages, ~1 hour) with the following question in mind:
- What's one assumption this plan makes that might turn out to be wrong?
Don't worry if you don't manage to read the entire plan ahead of time, you’ll be able to fill in any gaps in your understanding during the event. If you don’t have time to read everything, read one or two of the five sections that sound most interesting to you.
