Political discussions regarding artificial intelligence have emerged in Denmark and Sweden, focusing on privacy, sovereignty, and intellectual property.

In Denmark, the Enhedslisten party is considering a ban on invasive AI products, such as Meta-Ray-Ban AI glasses, which have been criticized for surveillance concerns and nicknamed ‘krænkerbriller’. Concurrently, the Danish government has allocated 80 million DKK through 2029 to bolster digital sovereignty and reduce reliance on international generative AI providers.

In Sweden, political parties have debated the impact of AI on copyright and creative professions ahead of parliamentary elections. Proposals include the Vänsterpartiet suggestion that public authorities prioritize human creators over AI-generated imagery, and Socialdemokraterna’s proposal to establish a copyright board to assist creators in legal challenges against AI companies. Miljöpartiet has also called for increased traceability to ensure proper recognition for cultural workers.
