AI Assistant Guide Ready for Use

An Easy-to-Read Guide into the World of AI

Norwegian organizations need simple and practical steps to adopt AI assistants safely and efficiently. After a swift and focused process lasting two to three months this spring, committee chair Jon Atle Gulla was able to present a user-friendly guide to the Minister of Digitalization Karianne Tung on June 16. The guide is designed to help companies and organizations navigate the world of artificial intelligence.

- It was important for us to develop a concrete and user-friendly guide that Norwegian organizations can actually use. The guide serves as a ticket to start using AI and to understand how to realize its benefits. It translates theory into practice so that more Norwegian organizations can safely take advantage of AI assistants, said Professor Jon Atle Gulla, head of the expert group, during the handover.

- Artificial intelligence offers great opportunities for innovation, growth, and increased efficiency. With this guide, we aim to lower the threshold for Norwegian organizations, enabling more of them to safely adopt AI assistants and strengthen their competitiveness, said Minister of Digitalization and Public Governance Karianne Tung in her remarks of appreciation.

AI assistants are becoming as commonplace as email and online meetings, but they require new skills, routines, and responsibilities. Many Norwegian organizations—both public and private—are asking: “How do we get started without taking unnecessary risks?”

The guide was developed by a broadly composed expert group and incorporates insights from both the public and private sectors. It is designed to provide both knowledge and practical advice:

  • A tool to promote innovation and growth
  • A simple recipe with concrete steps to get started
  • A checklist for safe and responsible use
  • Relatable examples
  • A framework for legal application

Professor Jon Atle Gulla emphasized that the guide focuses specifically on the use of AI assistants. It does not address AI in general, nor does it cover more complex AI agents or autonomous systems capable of making decisions independently:

- Those with expertise in such systems don’t need a guide, said Gulla, adding: - I hope this guide will spark momentum in the areas it covers, allowing us to keep up with emerging solutions over time.
