In Episode 169 of the AIAW Podcast, we’re joined yet again by Alexander Norén, journalist and economics correspondent at SVT, for a timely conversation coinciding with the release of Homo Roboticus, the second season of SVT’s acclaimed documentary series that began with Generation AI. While the series explores how artificial intelligence is transforming the world of work, our discussion zooms in on what’s often left out of the conversation: the political, economic, and societal fallout of accelerating automation. Will AI-fueled job disruption spark new populist movements? Is universal basic income a serious policy response or just Silicon Valley’s safety net fantasy? And will AI ultimately enhance human capabilities or quietly replace them? Tune in for a candid, thought-provoking episode that goes beyond the headlines into the future we’re all racing toward.
