AI and world around us

We are witnessing a wave of technological innovations that are reshaping the world we live in. Especially the area of Artificial Intelligence is evolving fast, and generative AI could be more revolutionary than anything we have seen before in our lifetime. We have begun to explore the amazing customer experiences we will be able to create. The way we will work is going to be more productive and efficient than yesterday. And perhaps most importantly, AI could hold the key to save our planet from climate change.

IKEA's approach to AI

People have been at the heart of IKEA for 80 years, and we will continue to put them first. We will use the incredible potential of Artificial Intelligence, and the technologies connected to it, to unlock more value for customers and co-workers. It will be people - with our creativity, curiosity, and compassion - who will lead the way and make the best use of Artificial Intelligence.
