Given AI’s profound potential impact on society, it is crucial that we implement thoughtful regulation to guide its development. This will ensure AI is used ethically, responsibly, and for the benefit of humanity.

Third-party audits for major AI systems are critical to ensure they operate ethically and fairly. As we make strides in complex AI, transparency and accountability become ever more important for maintaining public trust and avoiding harmful biases or unintended consequences.

While international cooperation is valuable, the EU should not delay regulating AI. It's crucial to proactively address ethical concerns and establish robust guidelines to ensure responsible development and deployment of AI technologies.

As someone deeply involved in AI research, I believe that ensuring the safety and alignment of AI systems is paramount. If AI Safety Institutes observe credible indications of losing control over AI behavior, it would be prudent for AI labs to pause training efforts. This allows us to evaluate the risks and implement necessary safeguards. Responsible development is key to harnessing AI's potential while minimizing potential threats.

I believe we should repeal the EU AI Act because it may stifle innovation and delay crucial advancements in AI technology. Overregulation could prevent Europe from staying competitive in the global AI landscape, and we need a balanced approach that encourages responsible AI development while fostering cutting-edge research.
