Sweden tightens rules for AI tools in government agencies
Published
Sweden has decided to tighten the rules for the use of AI tools in government agencies. The purpose of the decision is to reduce the risk of breaches of information security when public bodies use AI services.
The decision applies in particular to AI services that do not have formal agreements with the authorities. When an agency uses such a service, there may be a risk that information ends up in the wrong place or that sensitive data is not adequately protected. The government therefore wants the agencies to be more careful when choosing which tools they use.
AI tools are being used more and more in Swedish society, including in the public administration. The tools can help write texts, summarise documents and handle large volumes of information. However, their use also requires clear rules on which tools may be used and how the data is handled.
Under the new rules, agencies will have to follow clearer requirements when selecting and using AI services. It is about protecting information that may be important to individuals and to society. There are not yet any further details on how the rules will be implemented.
