In this seminar I will start by giving an introduction to the AI debate since the release of ChatGPT. I will then present some results from a recent pilot study in Sweden, where we take a perspective from agenda-setting theory and propose that it is an elite outside of party politics that is leading the debate. We also suggest that the debate has become more substantive and risk-oriented in recent years. Our preliminary findings lend support to the expectation that an academic, rather than a political elite is steering the debate.
