Sweden's ability to resist influence campaigns needs to be strengthened, and the government wants the strategy to increase knowledge among Swedes.
We need to take measures to strengthen the will to defend ourselves, says Carl-Oskar Bohlin (M), Minister for Civil Defense, at a press conference.
According to the minister, the strategy should be a "steering wheel" for authorities working on psychological defence.
A central part is to strengthen the use of AI-based tools, and the Psychological Defence Agency will be tasked, among other things, with deepening cooperation with several authorities, such as the National Cybersecurity Centre.
We see that AI brings a lot of positive things to society, but is also used by antagonists to harm Sweden, says Bohlin.
