Portrait of Clas Törnquist

The analysis before the tool. And the tool.

I do two things: I build AI systems that hold up in organizations with requirements on them, and I help organizations make the decisions that come before the build. They usually belong together.

  • I build AI systems

    Agents and AI services for organizations where the answer has to be defensible afterwards. The guardrails sit in the architecture: classification decides which model may be used, and the boundary is testable — not merely promised.

  • I assess AI systems

    AI Impact Assessment, architecture review and technical due diligence. Before you introduce something, or before you commit to a vendor. The output is a recommendation: go ahead, hold off, or fix these things first.

  • Public Sector & Procurement

    Requirements, governance and procurement — whether you are buying technology or selling it to the public sector. Four years on the buyer's side in a Swedish municipality.

Why Clas?

  • Working in IT since 1989 — infrastructure consultant for most of it, most recently four years as a systems manager in a Swedish municipality.
  • Working with language models since GPT-3 in 2020, and building with them since they became buildable.
  • Built and running: Process Processor. Published and citable: C2CS, with a DOI.
