Learnings from building an AI startup from scratch
Eskil Sköldkvist, CEO & Founder of Minosia
Eskil Sköldkvist’s presentation focuses on the journey from an idea to founding a successful
AI company. He joined an early-stage accelerator and founded Minosia: an AI platform that
helps medical technology companies navigate regulatory compliance. After one year the
company has raised venture capital, built a team, and launched its product across EU, UK,
and USA. The experiences from this process will be presented and he will also share some
thoughts about where AI is headed and what it means for the future of work.
Eskil Sköldkvist is co-founder and CEO for Minosa, an AI-platform supporting medical
technology companies. Eskil Sköldkvist got a bachelor degree in Information Systems as well
as in Business Administration, 2020. During his education in Information Systems he was
vice president in Uppsala Systemvetare. After the studies Eskil Sköldkvist has worked as
partner sales executive before changing to AI. He has three years of experience working in
Microsoft Azure.
Understanding the implementation of AI technologies in intimate everyday life
Matilda Tudor, PhD, Media and Communication Studies
Matilda Tudors’ presentation focuses on her current work on AI and algorithms in intimate
spheres, such as reproduction, health and desire. As such deeply personal aspects of our lives
are increasingly datafied and understood through technological feedback loops, she asks what
embodied knowledge actually means in our times, and what happens to personal agency and
intuition? The presentation will pay particular attention to contemporary social uses of
chatbots such as ChatGPT and Character AI, and the ever more intimate relationships
between humans and AI systems.
Matilda Tudor is a researcher and lecturer in Media and Communication Studies at Uppsala
University since 2020. She earned her doctoral degree at Södertörn University 2018, with a
dissertation about queer orientations and digital media use in contemporary Russia. Since
then, her research has focused on the existential and ethical challenges arising due to the
implementation of AI into everyday technologies, particularly emphasizing minority
perspectives and feminist theory.
The events will be held at Ekonomikum, Lecture Hall 2.
