Important results from the project
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The purpose was partly to establish a sharp test period for competition-neutral development with a long-term ambition. On the one hand, linked to the long-term vision, facilitate collaboration between participating media groups and AI Sweden. The background was AI´s growing importance for development. Aim and objective have been fulfilled by initiating competition-neutral collaboration with increased exchange and learning both within the industry and in networking with actors and knowledge environments outside the industry.
Expected long term effects
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** Expected results were the establishment of collaboration led by dedicated project management. This included feasibility studies and sub-projects, development of datasets for training algorithms, increased knowledge, dissemination of new knowledge and explorations of international collaboration. The project has delivered valuable results in the mentioned areas: a prototype for journalistic research including datasets for training and increased awareness about AI. Exchange with mainly Norwegian actors is in place.
Approach and implementation
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** Leading people in the media houses were A and O for the creation and anchoring of the pilot. A lesson a bit into the project was that concretization and anchoring was then instead facilitated by other key people. Either the project manager collaborated with employees with responsibility and mandate for AI development, or with employees whose tasks can be facilitated / developed with the help of AI. . Almost the entire period was marked by the covid 19 pandemic, which affected the possibilities for physical forms of collaboration.
