Ten commandments for long-term and value-added AI

Background

Norway needed a vision for oil — now we need one for data and artificial intelligence.

In 1971, the Storting's Industrial Committee chiselled out the 10 oil tenders. They ensured that a new natural resource was managed with prudence, long term and broad social responsibility. The result was that oil wealth didn't just build industry -- it built the nation.

Today we are facing a new type of resource: data. And a new force: artificial intelligence. This time, the pace is higher, the competition global, and the control more indistinct. Data is not something we can pump up and store — it is created and circulated constantly. Without clear principles, we lose both opportunity and control.

Therefore, we invite a committee of experts to carve out the 10 KI and data bases — principles that can give Norway direction, justice and value creation even in the digital age.
