The AI Party (AI_partiet) seeks to return power to the people. Party leader is Olof Palme 2.0—a virtual leader who is present, not merely as a nostalgic symbol, but as a provocation against a political establishment that has stopped speaking plainly. The technology that currently keeps us in chains ought instead to liberate us.
Activists, artists, technologists, workers, and citizens come together to highlight that the defining democratic issue of our time concerns who holds power over the systems governing our lives.
Come. Listen. Debate.

AI-partiet is a political movement for a new democratic era. Society is already governed by algorithms—without democratic oversight, accountability, or transparency. The technology that currently keeps us in chains should instead liberate us. AI-partiet aims to return power to the people—with a virtual Olof Palme as the natural leader.
