Swedish JobTech has made a strategic decision to focus on highlighting how AI and the use of open data are affecting the labor market. Emelie Fågelstedt is now taking on the role of AI strategist for labor market issues at Swedish JobTech, where she will also lead the committee for data-driven education.
