AI is Sweden’s biggest issue when it comes to welfare, work and the future.

All texts, ideas and political proposals from responsible intelligence in politics are developed by Johan Kärrman in dialogue with four AI echoes: Ellen Key, Sonja Kovalevsky, Jan Stenbeck and Olof Palme.

The echoes are developed with the support of historical sources and several AI models. These are not four people returning from the dead, but four distinct ways of thinking brought into contact with our time – and with one another.

Artificial intelligence is changing work, schools, healthcare, culture, democracy and our relationships with one another.

The question is no longer whether AI will affect society. The question is who gets to shape the technology, which values are built into it and which people get to share in its possibilities.

It is easy to ask an AI to write text that sounds convincing. The difficult part is finding out whether the thinking stands up. That is why we first use AI to make the question harder. Only then do we let it help us make the answer clearer.

AI can help us search more widely, think from more perspectives and express ourselves more clearly. But no machine can bear political responsibility. Voters should be able to see not only what we propose – but also how we arrived at it.

The future is not going to wait. As a member, you help develop, discuss and vote on policy.

An AI that helps a nurse summarise a medical record is not the same as an AI that decides for itself which treatment a patient should receive. A tool that helps a small business write code is not the same as a system that identifies and monitors people in the street.

We want Europe’s simplest rules for safe AI – and Europe’s strongest protections where AI can harm people’s bodies, freedom or privacy. The principle is simple: freedom for the tool. Responsibility for the consequences.
