Sweden’s AI safety party reached voters, but not parliament
RegleraAI.nu put AI extinction risk into Sweden’s election, but 390 votes showed how hard it is for a new single-issue party to turn attention into political power. Started four weeks before the vote, the group ordered 200,000 ballot papers and distributed them nationwide with a few dozen volunteers, driving thousands of website visits and some media coverage. Its main demand was for Sweden to pressure the US and China toward an AI development pause.
