Swedish Media is reporting that AI, artificial intelligence, is growing rapidly among both companies and authorities, accoriding to two new reports show.

More and more Swedish companies make AI part of their business.

AI is not any longer only a part of the companies’ experimental strategies, but is increasingly used to create day-to-day business, according to an analysis done by Gartner. The number of AI projects will double in the coming years, both in the private sector companies and in the public sector.

In December 2018, 106 companies responded to the survey and reported that they had four AI projects on average in pipeline, but also that they planned to start another six within twelve months. Until 2021, the companies will have a total of 20 AI projects on average, and after 2022 the figure is expected to rise to 35 AI or machine learning projects.

“We see a considerable increase in the number of AI projects this year. The rise increases the demands on internal reorganizations in organizations to secure staffing and financing”, says Jim Hare, analyst at Gartner in a comment.

According to Gartner, a total of 59 per cent of the organizations surveyed have already introduced AI in some form. The main driving force, which 40 percent emphasizes, is to improve the customer experience, for example with chat bots, virtual assistants or decision support. Automation is the second most important driving force, where the AI projects range from billing robots to automated interviews during recruitment.

The biggest challenge within AI, according to Gartner’s survey, is to find the right skills. It accounts for 56 percent of the consulted organizations.

“Finding competence is generally a big problem with regard to advanced techniques. The lack of competence can be managed by companies employing service providers, partnerships with universities or training the employees”, says Jim Hare.

Another challenge is on a more basic level: to understand how the technology should be implemented in a way that is relevant to the business, which 42 per cent state. Finally, many concerns about data quality, a problem that 34 percent say they encountered.

In Sweden, 94 per cent of authorities and companies have started AI projects. Every third Swedish large company works actively with AI technology in its operations, shows a survey from Ipsoft.

“Many want to take the step further in their efficiency processes and make AI an integral part of the entire business”, says Johan Toll, European Technology Manager at Ipsoft.

Among the 100 decision makers in Swedish companies that have answered questions in Ipsoft’s survey, several different driving forces are stated for the AI initiatives. The most common were to become a more efficient company, and to improve the user experience, which is 61 per cent and 56 per cent respectively.

According to Johan Toll, this shows a shift in the AI investments “We see a rapid shift towards user experience, language understanding and customer interaction with regard to AI, where many have so far focused most on data analysis for the businesses”, he says.
