Comment by Pedro Sánchez
Prime Minister of Spain
Today, more than ever, the world needs a global governance of digitalization. A governance that defends the fundamental rights of citizens above the interests of states and corporations. A governance that tackles the cyber threats, deep fakes and toxic lies that circulate online and threaten our democracies and the very safety of our children. A governance that guarantees that AI systems do not incorporate discriminatory biases or replicate old injustices, while it facilitates innovation and investments for the development of this technology... That is the purpose of the European AI regulation recently approved under the Spanish presidency of the Council.AI Verified source (Jan 17, 2024)

The quote is authentic. In the official La Moncloa PDF transcript of Pedro Sánchez’s keynote address at the World Economic Forum in Davos, dated January 17, 2024, the passage appears verbatim on page 4 (lines 86–95), and the document attributes the speech to Pedro Sánchez. ([lamoncloa.gob.es](https://www.lamoncloa.gob.es/presidente/intervenciones/Documents/2024/240117%20INGL%C3%89S%20Intervenci%C3%B3n%20PG%20Davos.pdf))

The quote is attributable to Pedro Sánchez, and the World Economic Forum page for his Davos 2024 special address contains the surrounding passage. However, it is not verbatim as presented: after “Today, more than ever, the world needs a global governance of digitalization.” the source includes an extra sentence — “A governance that defends the fundamental rights of citizens above the interests of states and corporations.” — before the “cyber threats, deep fakes and toxic lies” sentence. The same wording appears in an official Spanish government transcript PDF. Because that omission is not marked with [...], the submitted quote is materially altered rather than exact.

Source URL (weforum.org, Davos 2024 special address by Pedro Sánchez) returns HTTP 403, but a web search independently confirmed the verbatim quote attributed to Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez at the World Economic Forum: he called for "a global governance of digitalization" that "tackles the cyber threats, deep fakes and toxic lies that circulate online and threaten our democracies and the very safety of our children," and tied this to "the European AI regulation recently approved under the Spanish presidency of the Council." Year 2024 correct (Davos, January 2024). Vote "for" on "Regulating artificial intelligence to protect vulnerable groups" aligns — Sánchez champions AI regulation to protect democracies, children, and against discriminatory biases. Attribution, content, year, and vote direction confirmed.
