- In my daily work at Google, I see the enormous potential of AI. The AI Swede of the Year award is not only a celebration of innovation, but also an important reminder that AI, used correctly, can enrich and transform society for the better. Being part of this jury, and helping to highlight those who are leading that development, is incredibly inspiring.
