Sweden votes on September 13, 2026, and artificial intelligence is already reshaping the country's economy, energy grid, and place in Europe - even though almost nobody running for office wants to talk about it. From a national strategy aiming for a top-ten global ranking, to data centers reshaping the power grid, to a still-unfinished law meant to enforce the EU's AI Act, the choices Sweden's next government makes will decide how the country handles AI for years to come.

AI on the Ballot is produced by GIE Foundation and Regulating AI, the largest AI regulation podcast in America. Our audience spans more than 200,000 subscribers with 5+ million views. Having begun in the 2026 US midterms in depth, the series is now going international - and Sweden is first.

AI on the Ballot: Sweden is a four-episode non-partisan series co-hosted by Bennett Iorio of GIE Foundation and Sanjay Puri of Knowledge Networks, running every Friday through the September 13 election. Each episode sits down with the researchers, AI commission members, and Riksdag candidates actually shaping Sweden's AI policy - and puts them on the record.
