Do we need a new word for AI-assisted writing? If we combine technology and text, we get something like Techst. To techst someone. (På svenska slår vi ihop teknik och texta och får ”Teksta”) Not quite ideal! Since “text” refers to sending a message via mobile. Does anyone have a better suggestion? Or maybe we won’t need it at all because we might not want to admit that we’re using AI in our writing process. This thought came to mind when I gained access to ChatGPT Canvas a few days ago (similar to Microsoft Copilot). I think it feels smooth and intuitive! I’m writing together with the technology in a clear way. We create together, and then I edit the text! Over and over until I’m satisfied. It’s not traditional writing that I’m doing, hence the thought behind the title. Example: “I’ll get back to you so quickly you’ll think the response is techsted!” “Jag återkommer så snabbt att du tror att svaret är tekstat!” “This essay is obviously techsted!” ”Den här uppsatsen är uppenbart tekstad!” #Forvismazars#AIWriting #Techst #Teksta #CollaborativeWriting #AIInspiration #WritingWithAI #FutureOfWriting #AIContentCreation #AIInnovation #AIandCreativity#AI#ChatGPT

Takeaways from Nordic Innovation House - Silicon Valley AI Founder and Pitch Demo👇 1. Go horizontal as a utility / plugin (translation language model like OpenBabylon) 2. Or drill into a niche vertical and reduce time to task completion and user involvement with action models (eg SupportFinity™ ) 3. Entirely new domain specific platforms will be built with Gen-AI at its core, aiming to upset sleepy incumbents (Thinkisu, Inc. and wine industry) 4. Solving hard, unglamorous problems in heavy industry and energy is likely to have longer sales and validation cycles but also high margins and well defended recurring revenue (like FLUIX AI ) 5. As code writing AI tools get adoption, demand for full-function web apps will likely replace expensive custom development or generic boilerplate SaaS (such as Metatable.ai 🇺🇦 ) 6. Purpose specific AI tools will dominate niche categories, like interview prep (thanks to MirWork ) 7. Digital avatars with low latency and high human realism will replace people in many ways (Xpressive AI and LMNT ) Shoutout to Sophie Alcorn for organizing and sponsoring the event 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Is the OMOP CDM something for Swedish HealthTech companies? (about OMOP CDM: https://lnkd.in/dE_5qP_a) Leveraging the OMOP CDM provides HealthTech companies with multiple advantages, including improved data standardization and interoperability, accelerated R&D, and the ability to scale analytics and AI-driven insights. It also facilitates global collaboration, cost efficiency, and supports clinical innovation, particularly in areas such as personalized medicine and real-world evidence generation. Here are 5 concrete examples how OMOP CDM provides value to HealthTech companies: 1) Data Integration: The OMOP CDM provides a unified structure for healthcare data from diverse sources (e.g., electronic health records (EHRs), claims data, registries). This standardization allows HealthTech companies to integrate and analyze data across multiple systems and organizations without needing to deal with inconsistencies in formats or terminologies. 2) Improved Interoperability: OMOP's use of standard vocabularies like SNOMED, LOINC, and ICD facilitates interoperability between different systems and data platforms. This ensures HealthTech solutions can work in harmony with existing healthcare infrastructure. 3) Faster Time to Insights: By using OMOP CDM, HealthTech companies can quickly harmonize large, diverse datasets, enabling faster hypothesis generation and testing for clinical studies, drug development, and real-world evidence (RWE) analysis. 4) Scalability for Machine Learning and AI: With data already standardized, it becomes easier to apply advanced analytics, such as machine learning models and artificial intelligence, to identify patterns in patient outcomes, predict disease progression, or optimize treatment protocols. 5) Easier Data Sharing for Multi-Center Studies: By leveraging OMOP, HealthTech companies can participate in global research networks like OHDSI (Observational Health Data Sciences and Informatics), which uses OMOP to harmonize data from numerous institutions around the world. This enables collaborative studies across different countries and healthcare systems, expanding the potential for impactful, large-scale research. There are more benefits.

Finland has set up a project to implement its national digital identity wallet in line with the European Union’s eEIDAS regulation which introduces the European Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet.The project kicked off on April 26 and is should be completed by December 31, 2026. The groundwork was set up by Finland’s Ministry of Finance while the Digital and Population Data Services Agency will be in charge of the technical implementation, the government says in a press release.The agency will have to follow rules set up by the eEIDAS 2.0 which governs electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions. According to the rulebook, each EU Member State is required to provide a digital identity wallet to its citizens by 2026 at the latest.  Source in comment.China social credit?

Metadata thought of the day True interoperability IP projects in the data and metadata space. Besides the amazing Finnish ISNI project (https://lnkd.in/g-D3N5tc), I am not aware of any. There are data projects—I am working on one right now in my job. But dedicated decentralized across different business group IP metadata or data exchange projects, I do not see a lot- correct me if I am wrong? #metadata #data #interoperability #interoperable #ISNI

One of our first GPT powered implementation in Drupal is now live for internal use 😍 ! In essence, it allows users to ask questions where GPT answers solely based on content on the aalto.fi website. A massive thank you to our Aalto University IT team and our partners at Siili Solutions and Cloudriven Oy, it's been a blast to work on this. This is a great use case as it helps increase accessibility in terms of faster access to content and not needing to search and go through search results to find the answer to your question ⌛ which matches up with our framework on responsible use of AI. It's not perfect, and we have a ton of improvements still to make - the main challenge is weighting content and improving content. As GPT has access to all content, we sometimes see cases where an old piece of news "pollutes" answers due to that information no longer being relevant. We have a lot of work ahead of us 🏋‍♂️ . Can't wait to build a version that helps students with the application process! Here is a demo of it in practice, helping to answer the question "How can I get a new computer?". Don't hesitate to reach out if you are interested in what goes on "under the hood"!

Ever wondered what the number one thing healthcare professionals want in a digital healthcare platform? The answer: seamless integrations! 🔗 Another key takeaway from our 2024 survey on telemedicine platforms among Swedish healthcare professionals: the urgent need for integrated systems. The daily frustrations of multiple logins and repetitive data entries aren’t just minor inconveniences - they’re significant barriers to efficiency. This is what we would call "no flow". One of the top priorities for both Curoflow and healthcare professionals is bridging the gap between digital platforms and electronic health records (EHRs). At Curoflow, we offer integrations with major EHRs - Webdoc and TakeCare for our Swedish customers. For our UK customers, we’ve recently launched an integration with Semble. However, it gets better! We also provide customized integrations for our customers who are willing and wanting to go the extra mile to streamline their workflow. Efficient connections between systems drastically reduce administrative tasks, allowing more time for meaningful patient interactions. This is flow to us. Talk to us about your customized integration: kontakt@curoflow.se 📩 Explore the full survey (in Swedish): https://lnkd.in/duHDcVnn #telemedicine #telehealth #digitalhealthcare #healthcare #integration #EHR

Nearly a year ago, I wrote about Europe’s untapped tech potential, and today, in Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet, the frustration is even greater. Just yesterday, Börje Ekholm, CEO of Ericsson, expressed his outrage over AI regulations that could force their AI efforts out of Europe: “We’ll have to place it in America or India.”. When large enterprises like Ericsson think about moving AI development out of Europe, it sends a clear message to entrepreneurs and an entire ecosystem: don’t even bother. Innovation is being stifled by fear of regulations. Here’s what we need to do to change that: 1. Stop focusing on restrictions and fear It’s not just entrepreneurs who are worrying—investors and governments, key players in stimulating innovation, are feeling the fear too. When the regulatory environment feels hostile, investors hesitate to back new ideas, and governments avoid taking bold steps to support innovation. This stifles creativity and potential before it even starts. We need to move beyond fear and restrictions and create an environment where ideas, investments, and government support thrive. 2. Embrace our values—but don’t stay in the comfort zone I’m not in any way advocating for a free-for-all AI without any regulations. But staying in a very regulated comfort zone isn’t the answer either. Europe has an incredible entrepreneurial culture, and we’re known for caring deeply about values and integrity. It is a real strength in our DNA. We’re in the perfect position to lead the next generation of data and AI-first companies—if we can break free from the current regulatory chokehold. 3. Leverage AI and data to improve and create new capital sources To regain the courage to invest in European innovation, we need an ecosystem that dares to invest again. By using AI and real-time data, we can improve and unlock new capital and create a fresh asset class designed for startups. This would empower founders to grow without sacrificing equity and give investors the confidence to back more companies at lower risk. Leveraging these tools will reignite Europe’s risk appetite for tech investment, driving innovation forward. The tools are here, and the time is now. But if we keep playing it safe, Europe will fall behind, or as Börje Ekholm puts it - "Europe will become a museum with great food, great wine, nice architecture, but no leading companies." Check out my op-ed (link in comments) to see why and how we must act now—let us all help out to push for real change today.

🎯 Future Trends in Design Systems A little extract from my 2024 talk for CS students at Aalto University about where #designsystems are heading. Here's my take on the key trends: - Automation & AI integration in design tools - Dynamic theming with smart token calculations - Enhanced testing approaches - Streamlined component adoption with built-in governance More details in the video ⬇️ Can't watch? Below is the same in text :-) What you agree what you disagree with? Text version: So that brings us to future trends in design systems and how we would solve these problems. I believe there will be more automation. Some people even say we will apply AI to different tools - maybe plugins for Figma, Storybook, and other new tools - I think they will ease the work. Another topic is dynamic theming. This means that design tokens are introduced and may be calculated dynamically. For example, a color scheme doesn't need to consist of certain colors - there can be just a few primary, secondary, and tertiary colors defined, and everything else is calculated automatically from them. You can calculate the values for the tokens depending on user preferences, maybe to make it more accessible for certain users. I think we will get smarter testing. Even visual regression testing that I already introduced tests more statically. We might get some ways to compare design and development and ensure that what we have shipped with code responds to the initial idea. I also think there will be easier adoption of components in products, because it's another challenge. It's not enough to provide components even if they are very good - it's another tricky thing to deliver them to the product and make the engineers use them. Recently in my current project, there was an idea to provide suggestions for every pull request that engineers make. If we can spot an opportunity where components could have been used but weren't, we could block the ability to merge this pull request and list these components. I don't think we will do that because it's technically quite challenging yet, but maybe as a future trend something like that will work.

After much hard work, today we officially released our user facing EU-election AI chatbot "Valkompisen": https://lnkd.in/d-WbXn63 . This project is a cooperation between Aftonbladet Editorial Team and the Aftonbladet AI-hub team. The "Election Buddy" is based on OpenAI's GPT-4 technology. To ensure the provision of relevant and accurate information about the EU and the EU elections, we have created a database containing facts reviewed by Aftonbladet's journalists. It also includes responses to multiple surveys answered by the eight parliamentary parties and their top 10 candidates. A significant part of the database also consists of facts about the EU election, the structure of the EU, the history of the EU, current topics in the EU debate, votes in the European Parliament, party groups, and much more. When a user asks a question, the AI bot performs a semantic search in the database to retrieve relevant facts. The bot then combines this information and formulates a well-founded response. The Election Buddy has also been provided with guidelines, or "prompts," that direct how it should use the information to respond and what tone and personality it should convey. To ask questions you can press the predefined questions or login to ask your own questions.
