The world's largest sovereign wealth fund, Norges Bank Investment Management (NBIM), just delivered compelling proof of what's possible with strategic AI deployment. CEO Nicolai Tangen shared:
"Claude has fundamentally transformed the way we work at NBIM. With Claude, we estimate that we have achieved ~20% productivity gains, equivalent to 213,000 hours."
NBIM isn't just chatting with AI – they're working with it:
✅ Portfolio managers seamlessly query their Snowflake data warehouse
✅ Custom AI tools for behavioral analysis and decision-making
✅ Processing news articles in 16+ languages for 9,000 companies
✅ $100M annual trading cost savings (targeting $400M)
✅ Organization-wide AI integration with clear mandate from leadership
What's particularly striking is NBIM's approach to adoption. CEO Tangen made it clear that "using AI is not an option, but a must." They deployed "AI ambassadors" across offices. These are volunteers who spread knowledge and help colleagues "unlock the door" to AI capabilities.
Tangen noted: "We are absolutely convinced that it will give us an enormous advantage going forward that we have been early adopters of this technology."
This is exactly what organizations need: private AI workspaces that integrate with existing data systems and deliver structured outputs for real work.
Kyva offers just that with complete sovereignty at a fraction of enterprise AI costs.
