Leading a panel at the Norwegian AI Championship

Last Thursday left us with goosebumps and big smiles. It’s genuinely inspiring to see the engagement the team at Astar has built around something as important as the Norwegian AI Championship.

We got to lead a panel conversation at the opening ceremony in front of 600 people at Mesh Community in Oslo. Alongside voices from Tripletex, NorgesGruppen Data and Astar, Aleksandra hosted an honest exchange about how AI is actually being used in Norwegian businesses today, sharing real experiences and ambitions for where the technology can take us.

The best part was the championship itself: 3,100 registered participants, from 15-year-olds to people well over 70. Norway isn’t exactly leading the pack on adopting AI yet, which is precisely why initiatives like this matter. With more arenas like it, Norway can gradually move to the front of this global technology wave.
