Important results from the project
AI Sweden and US partners (BYU, ORNL, Utah Commerce Dept) identified research overlaps for a Stage 2 proposal. Meetings and research led to a focus on security assessments of LLM-based systems. Work to establish a future US-Swedish student exchange program has not yet received funding. Cybersecurity against AI attackers is an important area that we will exploit with other opportunities.
Expected long term effects
Arbetet kommer att leda till stärkta forskningssamarbeten mellan amerikanska och svenska organisationer, fokus på de områden som Sverige har störst behov av, säkerhetsbedömningar för implementering av AI-system och cybersäkerhet mot AI-drivna motståndare, samt större studenters engagemang för industriell forskning.
Approach and implementation
US and Swedish researchers held rapid meetings to identify research overlaps. A survey delivered to Swedish partners then pinpointed two priority areas: the security of LLM-based systems and AI-driven cybersecurity modernization. While the former is being developed for a Stage 2 proposal, the latter targets future opportunities. Plans for a US graduate internship program were made and funding applied for in the US, but funding has not yet been awarded.
