AI security is no longer optional – it is a business-critical requirement. As AI becomes an integrated part of operations, the risks increase. Establishing the right expertise early is essential to build sustainable solutions and avoid costly, business-critical consequences. Many organizations adopt AI rapidly but overlook security.
To meet this need, Nexer Tech Talent and AI Sweden have launched Sweden’s most ambitious graduate program in AI security – a strategic initiative for organizations that want to stay ahead. By combining cutting-edge academic knowledge, practical experience, and strong networks within Sweden’s growing AI ecosystem, we are developing the talent needed to secure Sweden’s future in AI.
The AI Security Graduate Program offers a unique combination of academic excellence, practical application in industry, and networking opportunities within Sweden’s rapidly growing AI ecosystem. Inspired by successful models for developing technology-driven leadership, the program provides organizations with a direct path to addressing critical challenges in AI security and building specialized expertise in the field. At the same time, participants gain an accelerated entry into a highly relevant and in-demand role – ready to contribute from day one.
The program is designed to meet the rising demand for AI security expertise across a wide range of sectors. It targets everything from startups to large enterprises, as well as public authorities and municipalities, that are developing or adopting AI solutions and need talent with the right skills to navigate the complex security challenges that follow.
AI security is different from cybersecurity. While cybersecurity protects traditional IT systems, AI security focuses on safeguarding AI systems from learning incorrectly, making poor decisions, or exposing sensitive information. Success requires both AI security, which protects systems against attacks and manipulation, and AI safety, which ensures that AI acts ethically, safely, and in alignment with human values.
– AI security protects against attacks, data breaches, and manipulation.
– AI safety reduces risks such as bias, lack of transparency, and unintended behaviors.
Together, they provide the foundation for safe and responsible AI development – essential for building the trustworthy AI solutions of the future.
As a partner organization, you gain access to handpicked talents with a strong technical foundation in computer engineering, cybersecurity, and related fields. Over the course of the 12-month program, these talents work on your real security challenges, fully integrated into your teams and processes. The result? Applied expertise that makes a difference from day one.
Participants are trained by some of the world’s most renowned experts – researchers, professors, and practitioners – in AI and security through AI Sweden. Splitting their time between your organization and AI Sweden, they receive continuous mentorship and advanced training. This ensures their growth is aligned with your needs while keeping pace with the latest research and cutting-edge innovations.
As a partner, you benefit not only from future-proof expertise but also from a strategic opportunity to build internal knowledge in AI security. This means enhanced ability to protect AI systems against attacks, manipulation, and data breaches, while strengthening your insights into transparency, ethics, and responsible AI use. In short: you prepare your organization to develop trustworthy and sustainable AI solutions in an era of rapid technological change.
It’s not just about bringing in new expertise – it’s about building future capabilities. As a partner, you strengthen your capacity to work proactively with AI security, integrate the latest research into your daily operations, and position yourself at the forefront of a technological shift that is transforming society.
