Digitalization in public activities

The plan does not address digitization targets, open data or AI in administration. The nearest principle is that public activity shall be democratized and hierarchies and detailed control replaced by trust, and that the principle of public access is a building block of democracy, which speaks for simpler and more open administration. The plan also warns that new systems should not replace resources in the activity.

• democratize administrationdecisive»En demokratisering av den offentliga verksamheten« (party programme ↗)“A democratization of public activity”
• principle of public access»föreningsfriheten, yttrande- och tryckfriheten, offentlighetsprincipen« (party programme ↗)“freedom of association, freedom of expression and press freedom, principle of public access”
• resources before systems»Det är resurser som främst behövs, inte formulär för kvalitetssäkring, nya bokningssystem för sjukhussängar eller ännu en managementkonsult som inte kan något om verksamheten.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“It is resources that are primarily needed, not forms for quality assurance, new booking systems for hospital beds, or yet another management consultant who knows nothing about the activity.”

The plan takes no explicit position on what the committee actually decided — often because the committee's reason was procedural. The stance is derived and fully cited, but it does not show the party broke a commitment.

The plan wants to invest in digitalization and establishes that money shall go to activities and employees rather than more bureaucracy, which aligns with the goal of an easier everyday life for citizens. The party programme requires that administration is based on transparency and openness, which speaks for releasing data. The counter-proposal's requirement for reformulated goals and continued work with data and AI is therefore supported in substance.

• investment in digitalizationdecisive»Vi vill satsa på grön teknik, digitalisering och utbildning så att företagsklimatet stärks och kompetensförsörjningen förbättras.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to invest in green technology, digitalization and education so that the business climate is strengthened and skills supply is improved.”
• transparency and openness»Den demokratiska processen och samhällsförvaltningen måste bygga på offentlighet och« (party programme ↗)“The democratic process and administration of society must be based on transparency and”
• less bureaucracy»Villkor ska ställas så att pengarna till välfärden verkligen går till dess medarbetare – inte mer byråkrati.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Conditions shall be set so that money for welfare really goes to its employees - not more bureaucracy.”

The plan views open source and open hardware positively and requires that the principle of public access be valued and information be readily accessible to citizens, which speaks for the counter-proposal's goal of a more open public administration and released data. Digital solutions are also welcomed as a tool in urban planning. The plan says nothing about increased use of AI in the public administration, and at the same time it requires that privacy be protected, so the support rests on derived principles.

• open source and open datadecisive»källkod och öppen hårdvara som ett sätt att« (party programme ↗)“source code and open hardware as a way to”
• public access and transparency»Offentlighetsprincipen och meddelarfriheten måste« (party programme ↗)“The principle of public access and freedom of information must”
• readily accessible information»En deltagande demokrati kräver lättillgänglig« (party programme ↗)“A participatory democracy requires readily accessible”
• transparency in recorded information»lätt att få reda på vilken information myndigheter« (party programme ↗)“easy to find out what information authorities”

The plan sees digitalisation on equal terms as a prerequisite for democracy and decentralisation, wants to make Sweden more transparent, and wants to reduce administration with digital tools genuinely demanded by staff. A goal of a simpler everyday life for citizens and a more open government making data available aligns with this. The plan does not particularly address AI use.

• digitalisation on equal termsdecisive»Digitalisering på lika villkor, oavsett var man bor, är en förutsättning för demokrati och möjliggör decentralisering.« (party programme ↗)“Digitalisation on equal terms, regardless of where you live, is a prerequisite for democracy and enables decentralisation.”
• more open government»Sverige ska bli ännu mer transparent. Vi vill inrätta en antikorruptionsmyndighet, skärpa regler mot korruption och införa ett lobbyregister.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Sweden shall become even more transparent. We want to establish an anti-corruption agency, tighten rules against corruption, and introduce a lobbying register.”
• digital tools reduce administration»Den administrativa bördan inom vården måste minska, bland annat med hjälp av digitala verktyg som är användbara och efterfrågade av medarbetarna.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The administrative burden in healthcare must be reduced, among other things with the help of digital tools that are usable and demanded by staff.”
• transparency as basic principle»Öppenhet och transparens är grundförutsättningar för frihet, demokrati och för att förhindra korruption och övergrepp.« (party programme ↗)“Openness and transparency are basic prerequisites for freedom, democracy, and for preventing corruption and abuses.”

The party programme makes it a central principle that all public functions that can reasonably be made digitally accessible shall also be made so, and wants general records to be made accessible on the internet to the greater extent to facilitate insight. A goal formulated as simpler everyday life for citizens and a more open administration that releases data lies directly in that line. The plan says nothing about AI or about the digitalization agency's assignment, so the conclusion is derived.

• digital first in administrationdecisive»kan göras digitalt tillgängliga också ska göras digitalt tillgängliga.« (party programme ↗)“can be made digitally accessible shall also be made digitally accessible.”
• open data and insight»Diarier och allmänna handlingar bör i större utsträckning göras« (party programme ↗)“Diaries and general records should to a greater extent be made”
• embrace digitalization»Digitaliseringen innebär fantastiska möjligheter för den enskilda individen och för samhället i stort« (party programme ↗)“Digitalization means fantastic opportunities for the individual and for society as a whole”
• open administration»Offentlighetsprincipen har en grundläggande betydelse för att förankra och fördjupa folkstyret« (party programme ↗)“The principle of public access has fundamental importance for anchoring and deepening popular government”

The plan makes the principle of public access central to an open democracy and establishes that new technology that enables decentralization shall be utilized. A goal of simpler everyday life, more open administration, freed-up data and increased AI use aligns with this. The plan simultaneously requires great caution and respect for personal privacy in the handling of personal data.

• openness and the principle of public accessdecisive»Offentlighetsprincipen, det vill säga tillgången till« (party programme ↗)“The principle of public access, that is access to”
• utilize new technology»Ny teknik som skapar stora möjligheter till decentralisering av produktion och beslutsfattande« (party programme ↗)“New technology that creates great opportunities for decentralization of production and decision-making”
• protection for privacy»försiktighet och respekt för den personliga integriteten« (party programme ↗)“caution and respect for personal privacy”

The plan wants to shorten the time government agencies take to process cases, remove regulatory red tape so it becomes easy to do the right thing, and deepen the internal market for digital services. A goal for public digitalization that puts easier everyday life for citizens and more innovative administration at the center, with more open data and increased AI use, is in line with this. However, the plan does not address the goal formulation as such, which is why the conclusion is derived.

• shorter processing timesdecisive»Korta myndigheternas handläggningstider genom en bortre tidsgräns« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Shorten the time government agencies take to process cases by setting an outer deadline”
• easier for citizens»Där det är lätt att göra rätt – för att en tredjedel av regelkrånglet tagits bort.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Where it is easy to do the right thing – because a third of the regulatory red tape has been removed.”
• digital development»Fördjupa den inre marknaden, inte minst för tjänster och digitala produkter« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Deepen the internal market, not least for services and digital products”

The party programme establishes that a minimum of bureaucracy shall permeate all public activity, and the election manifesto requires clear public benefit for all government initiatives and streamlined public agencies. The plan also embraces digital government services, such as digital government mail. Formulating the goal for the administration's digitalization as a simpler everyday life for citizens and continuing to release data thereby aligns with the plan's commitments.

• minimum bureaucracydecisive»Centralt för partiet är att respekt för skattebetalarnas pengar och strävan efter ett minimum av byråkrati« (party programme ↗)“Central to the party is respect for taxpayers' money and the pursuit of a minimum of bureaucracy”
• public benefit in initiatives»Sverigedemokraterna vill koncentrera de offentliga utgifterna till välfärdens hjärta och begära tydlig medborgarnytta för alla satsningar.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Sweden Democrats want to concentrate government spending on the heart of welfare and demand clear public benefit for all initiatives.”
• digital government mail»säkerställa att alla har tillgång till telefoni och fungerande posttjänster, inklusive möjligheten att få sin myndighetspost digitalt« (2022 manifesto ↗)“ensure that everyone has access to telephony and functioning postal services, including the possibility of receiving government mail digitally”
• streamlined public agencies»Stoppa slöseriet inom myndigheterna och slå samman myndigheter« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Stop waste within government agencies and merge agencies”
