Technological development and regulatory frameworks

Four central Komet publications are now available in English

Why Sweden must manage accelerating technological development

The pace of technological development is rapid and accelerating. The boundaries between the physical, digital and biological worlds are blurring. Technologies from various areas are being combined and used in new areas of application. This has resulted in advancements in fields such as robotics, artificial intelligence, biotechnology and autonomous vehicles.

Collaborative understanding, testing and change

Accelerating technological developments challenge existing working methods. When development is rapid, and the future looks uncertain, broader and more extensive collaboration is required. By working together to understand rapid technological progress, testing in a real-world environment and gradually implementing change, the potential of technological advances can be harnessed, and risks managed.

Government agency responsibility from a holistic approach

Komet presents a model for considering agency responsibility from a holistic approach consisting of three components: sustainability and ethics, collaboration and learning, and legal certainty and effectiveness. In a time of rapid transformation and changing technological conditions, the model can be used to facilitate development of governance and monitoring.

Testing – a working method for quicker learning

Innovation and new technology are needed to achieve a sustainable society. The business sector and public sector actors should both use testing strategically and purposefully as a tool for responsible innovation and renewal of technology and regulatory frameworks. To use testing  as a working method promotes creativity and provides an understanding of problems and what is being tested.
