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.
AI will have a major impact on the labor market moving forward, especially when it comes to redefining tasks and job roles. Combined with open data, there’s potential to create entirely new services and applications that can improve job matching and skills development in the labor market, but there are also regulations and EU directives to adhere to. Swedish JobTech sees it as strategically important to delve into this area while also exploring ways to contribute to its development.
