Ah… Sweden. The committee on AI has released their report to the government today.
The general feeling is a recommendation to go all in on a specific yet ill-defined technology without asking if it’s the right tool for the job.
But they do seem to be very certain that it’s all very urgent and we will all be left behind if we don’t act now.
I always wonder how far behind it’s possible to be left. It’s not like there’s a scale, or a point of reference. But damn, it’s urgent. We should essentially be panicking. You know, because those are the perfect conditions for well-reasoned decision-making.
I keep reading the phrase “task force” in the report (which is entirely in Swedish, and that’s really the only action point in English) and all I can think is Space Force.
Anyway, here’s the report: https://www.regeringen.se/contentassets/11431c781ff746b3b7a49312fa4de624/ai-kommissionens-fardplan-for-sverige.pdf
