Missions & horizons

Missions

We have a strong sense of purpose to provide AI-based solutions to real world
challenges of importance for ordinary people, societies, and industry.

Our missions towards that end are:

Earth System Forecasting and Observation

Machine learning is revolutionizing Earth system forecasting, ranging from wind, weather and sea ice, to space and the oceans. The climate is changing fast. AI-based modelling of the environment provides mechanisms for understanding change, and provide early warning and detailed forecasting. AI-based monitoring from space, drones and in-situ data have the potential to provide unprecedented systems for enhanced situational awareness and for navigation in the air and over land and sea.

Infrastructure and preparedness

AI-based infrastructure monitoring, for energy system and power lines, pipelines, and beyond, is increasingly needed, also given stress caused by the changing climate.This is important for preparedness to unforeseen events, for security purposes and for digital sovereignty.

Transformation of health

Healthcare is under pressure. AI research based on medical imagery, electronic health records, lab results, or clinical text, can help transform health systems by improving prevention, diagnosis, treatment, operations, and scientific discovery at scales that are difficult for humans alone. Responsible deployment is critical.

Acceleration of innovation

Solving societal challenges needs accelerated AI innovation to turn new ideas into useful knowledge, technologies, products, services, and for creating value and sustainable growth. It is not only about inventing faster, but also about shortening the path from research and experimentation to real-world impact.

Horizons

We pursue our mission on a foundation of fundamental AI research horizons, or values.

That is, when developing the next generation AI technology, non-negotiable objectives are for the technology itself to be developed responsibly, and for humans to be responsible in their use and interaction with AI-based technology.

Responsible AI

Develop technology that is resilient to changes and unforeseen events or attacks.
