Out of 200 proposals 17 new research projects have all together been awarded roughly NOK 300 million in funding through the Nordic-Baltic initiative on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence.

A total of 163 researchers from 47 institutions and nine countries will explore the responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in different areas, such as generative AI, Large Language Models, AI governance, use of AI in healthcare, workplaces and in the energy and maritime sectors as well as in education.

The projects are expected to support optimal utilisation of AI, with minimal risks and threats, and to the benefits of citizens, businesses and the societies in the Nordic and Nordic-Baltic region.
