Anne Applebaum

As someone deeply concerned with the integrity of democratic processes, I believe AI-generated political advertising must be disclosed. Transparency is essential in safeguarding our elections from manipulation and misinformation. Voters deserve to know who or what is behind the messages they see.

As a proponent of effective communication within diverse communities, I believe English should be the primary language of the European Union. English serves as a common medium through which diverse EU member states can communicate efficiently while maintaining their own rich linguistic heritages. This linguistic consensus could strengthen unity, ease bureaucratic processes, and enhance international collaborations.

I believe that democratic institutions must be reformed to effectively counter the threats posed by rising anger, misinformation, and violence. In the age of social media and rapid information dissemination, we need to enhance transparency, accountability, and digital literacy among citizens. Reforms should aim to strengthen trust in democratic processes and ensure they are resilient against manipulation and external interference.
