Sweden’s socialist Prime Minister just admitted something that should terrify every freedom-loving American. Ulf Kristersson confessed he regularly uses ChatGPT to help him make political decisions for his country. He calls it getting a “second opinion” but what he really means is letting an unelected computer program guide government policy.
This is exactly the kind of dystopian nightmare conservatives have been warning about for years. A foreign-made AI system is now influencing how a European nation is governed. The Swedish people didn’t vote for ChatGPT to have a say in their government, yet here we are.
Kristersson claims he uses the AI tool to ask questions like “What have others done?” and “Should we think the complete opposite?” But who programmed this system? What biases are baked into its responses? We know Big Tech leans heavily left, so why would any conservative leader trust their AI tools?
The 61-year-old Prime Minister also admits to using a French messaging app called LeChat for government work. So now Sweden’s leader is relying on both American and French tech companies to help run his country. This is a complete surrender of national sovereignty to foreign corporations.
His spokesperson tries to downplay the concern by saying it’s not “security sensitive information.” But political decisions are always sensitive. Every policy choice affects real people’s lives, jobs, and freedoms. There’s no such thing as a harmless government decision.
Even Swedish experts are sounding the alarm. Computer science researchers warn about security risks when politicians use ChatGPT. One professor correctly pointed out that “We didn’t vote for ChatGPT” and worried about politicians becoming overconfident in AI systems.
This is just the beginning of a dangerous trend. As more world leaders start consulting AI for political advice, we’re heading toward a future where algorithms make decisions instead of elected officials. The machines will be running the show while politicians become nothing more than rubber stamps.
Americans need to wake up fast. If we don’t demand our leaders reject AI decision-making now, we’ll end up just like Sweden. Our elected officials will be taking orders from computer programs instead of serving the people who put them in office.
