Sweden demands an AI plan for the labor market

The Social Democrats are concerned about how AI will affect jobs and want the government to develop an action plan for the AI transition.

It will be absolutely crucial to respond to the changes in the Swedish labor market, says S labor market policy spokesperson Ardalan Shekarabi.

He does not believe the AI strategy presented by the government is sufficient and says the government is dragging its feet.

S wants transition support that matches AI development. The party also wants to undo changes the government has made to the unemployment insurance fund and has proposed a trainee program for young recent graduates.

Unlike previous technological shifts that primarily affected workers in industry, we now see that AI primarily affects academics, says Shekarabi.
