Sustainable AI
During fall 2018, the Association has been initiating “AI
discussions” where experts from society and industry come
together and debate on the subject of “Responsible AI” and
what an organization such as SI can do to influence the
technological development to the benefit of a sustainable
future. Initial focus has been on ethical questions. The goal
is to come up with a policy recommendation as well as a
material for the use of the regional organisations.
Work around the clock
The flexible working life where engineers can work where
ever and whenever is presents also challenges. To frame the
flexibility in a sustainable way for our members’ health and
careers we have started a project trying to define a healthy,
modern working life.
Globalization and the Nordic Trade Union Model
In August 2019, the Association hosted an event where local
representatives from the Nordics came together to discuss
how to strengthen and safeguard the Nordic cooperation
model between employees and employers. As a follow up
we will create stronger support for our local representatives
to build knowledge and relations in order to keep and gain
influence at the workplace.
