Overcoming the Small Nation Mindset - Competing Globally in AI
summary
Panel claims small nations can export AI by closing an imagination gap and reshaping identity, with concrete wins: a company using LLM-driven analytics with a 13-person team where historically 50–100 were needed, a hackathon with 650 registered 100 shortlisted leading to jobs and an AI academy, parliament-approved AI-in-curriculum pilots, proposals for government skunk works team sandboxes, and healthcare sandboxes that move from idea to proven solution far faster than in regulated markets.
