När reglering möter verklighet : En fallstudie om upphandling av AI och samspelet mellan kommun och leverantör under EU AI Act

Sammanfattning

This study examines how municipalities and providers in Sweden handle AI procurement and accountability in relation to the EU AI Act. Through a case study based on qualitative interviews with a strategist in one of the largest municipalities and a representative from an AI provider, the study analyzes how the parties interpret the regulations and collaborate in practice. The results show that both actors are positive toward clear regulation, but that implementation is hampered by legal uncertainties, resource constraints, and varying levels of technical maturity. The study also shows that there is a need for joint guidelines, checklists, and collaboration to improve requirements specification, risk management, and governance of AI systems in the public sector. The study contributes insights into how accountability and governance models are practiced at an early stage of the EU AI Act’s application.
