Bio

I run my own business while looking for a way to contribute more substantially to AI safety.

What I do? 1. Try to understand what AI means for our society and the world at large. 2. Help other understand it.

What I do, really? To get an income, I do courses, keynotes and workshops on AI, most often in the education sector. I write books and opinion articles, and comment in AI in media. I listen to loads of podcasts on AI, and I use different ways of exploring what AI development means today and tomorrow. I'm a generalist in AI, but expert in communication and also AI + education in combination.

I have a background as physicist, education researcher, science journalist, web developer and teacher. Before I started my own business I worked nine years at Sweden's National Agency for Education. Many years with math education stuff, but when ChatGPT was released I pivoted to form and then head the agency's team for AI. Then I left to increase my changes of actually contributing to AI safety.

Oh, there are parts of me that aren't my professional self. I live in Stockholm with a wonderful family. I love playing board games, drinking tea, being with friends, playing guitar, and ponder the difficult questions of life.

How others can help me

Well, I'd really like to find an organization where I can contribute more to AI safety than I can do by myself. But I won't leave Stockholm, which narrows it down quite a bit.

How I can help others

I can explain various stuff when it comes to AI and AI safety.

I have deep knowledge of AI and education.

I can be generally kind and friendly.
