We are [AI]2 – The Arctic Institute for AI is a flagship initiative for AI research and research-based innovation for meeting the major societal challenges of our time facing the Arctic, Europe and the world.
Our approach combines fundamental research in AI with interdisciplinarity, Arctic stamina, resilience, and hospitality, for responsible exploration at the forefront of AI research in science and innovation.


Our missions are to contribute solutions for the societal challenges facing Europe and the world, and particularly the Arctic as a strategic frontier, where environmental change, geopolitical competition and emerging technologies are reshaping security dynamics.
