From hype to hope – how can AI generate a richer Denmark?

Everybody is talking about Artificial Intelligence (AI). Many companies already use AI, and Danes’ mobile phones, for instance, are already today filled with AI. After the generative AI ChatGPT became available to the public in November 2022, many people have really come to realise that AI may have far-reaching consequences for society as well as for the economy. However, what is the scale of the potential, and how radical will the changes be? How is AI used at Danish workplaces today? And how will technologies evolve going forward? These are some of the questions we give an answer to in this report.
