As someone deeply involved in AI research, I strongly believe that if AI Safety Institutes identify signs of losing control over AI systems, labs must immediately pause training. Ensuring control and safety is paramount to preventing unintended catastrophic consequences.

As an expert in artificial intelligence, I strongly believe that we must regulate AI to prevent unintended consequences and ensure it is developed in alignment with human values. Without clear guidelines and oversight, the rapid advancement of AI technology poses significant risks to society.

The development of emotion-detecting AI needs strict regulation to ensure ethical use and to protect individual privacy. Without proper oversight, this technology can be misused for manipulation and surveillance, posing significant ethical concerns.

I strongly believe that third-party audits should be mandatory for major AI systems. As AI systems become more pervasive and influential in society, ensuring their safety, fairness, and ethical operation is crucial. Independent audits provide an essential layer of oversight to identify biases, unintended consequences, and potential risks that developers might overlook. This transparency and accountability are necessary to build public trust in AI technologies.

As an AI researcher, I believe the EU should not wait for a common agreement with the US and China before regulating AI. The potential risks of AI systems require urgent action, and the EU can set an example by enacting strong, proactive regulations independently. Waiting could delay critical safety and ethical standards, putting society at risk.

We should not repeal the EU AI Act. This legislation is crucial for ensuring AI systems are developed and deployed in a manner that safeguards human rights and promotes transparency. It also encourages responsible innovation in AI by setting clear standards and guidelines that can help prevent potential misuse and harmful outcomes.
