Some call Swedes early adopters, others call them technologically obsessed. Sweden just might make it as the first country to roll out 5G and is nearly cashless already. So far, so good. But is there a downside? When machines start doing the things we could do ourselves, what are the ethical, moral and political implications? Will in fact the rise of the machines happen in Sweden? Guests: Amy Loutfi is a Canadian professor in AI and robotics who specialises in human-robot interaction at Örebro University. Andreas Ekström is a journalist at Swedish daily Sydsvenskan, and an advocate for digital equality.
