The work we do can be done much faster with this type of tool, because then you get everything gathered, says Frida Wikström, project manager at Skyddsvärnet to the radio.

The tool is supposed to be cross-authority and gather information in one place. According to Frida Wikström, one of the problems today is that different agencies often work isolated from each other.

Recently, the government presented a new legislative proposal to facilitate the exchange of information between different authorities. The law is proposed to come into force on December 1, and around the same time, the AI tool is expected to be ready for use.
