The Initiative
Scaling AI responsibly
Senior business, technology and strategic leaders from across the Nordic region gathered in Stockholm for a private executive session examining one of the defining global challenges of the next decade: how governments, businesses and societies can scale artificial intelligence responsibly.
The invite-only event brought together executives and decision-makers to discuss the rapid acceleration of AI adoption across economies, industries and public services, and the growing pressure on leadership teams to build trusted, resilient and AI-literate organisations.
The session focused on AI governance, cybersecurity, workforce transformation, resilience, sustainability, infrastructure and the long-term societal implications of AI at scale.

Organisations need leadership frameworks that help them move forward with confidence, not hesitation."

PRESS RELEASE · MAY 13, 2026
Nordic leaders gather in Stockholm to discuss the future of Responsible AI.
SamurAI by NTT Security and EARTH 51 bring together senior leaders to address AI governance, resilience and institutional readiness.
Part of a Broader Initiative
The Stockholm event forms part of a broader initiative by SamurAI by NTT Security
Bringing together senior voices to shape how organisations navigate AI adoption with confidence, trust and long-term resilience.
Why this Matters to Us
Cybersecurity is the foundation of trusted AI
As AI becomes foundational infrastructure for economies, governments and society itself, the security of AI systems becomes inseparable from their trustworthiness. Cybersecurity and resilience in AI systems was a central theme of the Stockholm session.
This is not a service offering. It is a commitment to the conversations that shape how organisations and societies deploy AI responsibly and to the principle that security and trust go together.
In Partnership with
EARTH 51
The initiative was developed in partnership with EARTH 51, who contributed the SAFER framework a structured approach to Responsible AI centred around Sustainability, Accountability, Fairness, Explainability and Resilience.
"AI is beginning to reshape energy systems, labour markets, education, healthcare, security and economic productivity simultaneously. The pace of technological acceleration is now outpacing institutional readiness across much of the world."
