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] A Transformative AI Strategy for Europe
EA Sweden, SveavƤgen 76, Stockholm, SEEurope hosts only about three times as much AI compute as a single data centre site being completed in Malaysia this year and European model developers collectively earn less than 2% of the revenue of just two US counterparts. That's the starting point of A Transformative AI Strategy for Europe, published just a few weeks ago. The report argues that AI could transform society before 2030 and asks what Europe should do about it now. Its proposals range from preparing for AI-enabled cyberattacks and loss of control, to hardware that can verify international AI agreements, to using Europe's grip on the chip supply chain as leverage.
No reading is needed before the event. The report is a whopping 206 pages, so we'll read just parts of it, together at the event (The Immediate Objectives in Part A).
After gaining a quick overview of the executive summary, we'll split into small groups where each group will investigate one of the report's five most urgent recommendations, reporting back their findings to the group.
If you want to read parts before hand you can find the report here: transformative-ai.eu
