On Wednesday, I voted in support of a safer and more transparent artificial intelligence systems regulation. It wasn’t so long ago that the first touchscreen phones were brand new and made us adapt to the next generation of technological development. To a certain extent, the technology and digital field is growing faster than our rules are able to adapt – faster than what people are able to adapt to. This cannot be an excuse to fall behind and leave powerful systems in free-fall without rules or supervision – especially when it comes to facial recognition technology and predicting human reaction through use of AI technology online. Our citizens must feel safe when they step outside their home, as well as when they are scrolling through online websites. They deserve to have their privacy and well-being protected from existing and upcoming technologies. Unverified source (2023)
