In Episode 169 of the AIAW Podcast, we’re joined by Alexander Norén, journalist and economics correspondent at SVT, for a behind-the-scenes conversation on Homo Roboticus—the newly released second season of SVT’s acclaimed documentary series that began with Generation AI. While the series dives into how artificial intelligence is transforming work and society, this episode goes further, tackling the political and economic implications of automation that are often left out of mainstream narratives. From Nobel laureates to tech CEOs, Alexander reflects on the conflicting visions for AI’s role in our future: will it liberate us from drudgery, or quietly reshape power and inequality? A candid and provocative discussion about jobs, basic income, AI anxiety—and the uncertain future we’re all stepping into.
