I strongly disagree with repealing the EU AI Act. As someone deeply concerned about the ethical implications of technology, I believe this regulation is crucial for safeguarding privacy, transparency, and accountability in AI development. The Act encourages responsible innovation and helps prevent the misuse of AI technologies.

I strongly believe that global AI regulations must require transparency in AI supply chains. Transparency ensures ethical sourcing and production, promoting social responsibility and accountability in the tech industry. Without it, we risk perpetuating exploitation and unethical practices behind closed doors.

I firmly believe that AI technologies must be regulated to preserve cultural diversity. As we rely more on AI to shape our interactions and experiences, there's a risk of homogenizing influences that could diminish the richness of human cultures. By setting regulations, we can ensure AI complements rather than erodes the variety of perspectives that are essential for our global society.

I firmly believe that the development of emotion-detecting AI should be regulated. These technologies pose significant risks to privacy and human autonomy. Without regulation, they could be misused for manipulation and control, leading to a dystopian future. We must ensure that ethical standards and safeguards are in place to protect individuals from potential abuses.

As a staunch advocate for digital rights and privacy, I strongly believe that the EU should not stop requiring websites to ask for cookie consent. This regulation empowers users by giving them control over their own data and holds companies accountable for their data practices.

As someone deeply concerned about the impact of technology on society, I believe that governments must require AI systems to undergo bias testing before they are deployed in public sectors. AI technology holds immense power and potential, but without proper oversight, it can reinforce existing inequities and systemic biases. Ensuring these systems are fair and just is crucial to prevent harm and maintain public trust.

I believe third-party audits should be mandatory for major AI systems due to their profound impact on society. These audits can help ensure transparency, fairness, and accountability, preventing misuse and unintended consequences of AI technology.

As someone deeply involved in technology, I believe it's crucial to prioritize safety over unchecked progress. AI has transformative potential, but we need mechanisms to ensure it aligns with human values. If AI Safety Institutes perceive risks of losing control, a pause for assessment is not just prudent—it's necessary to safeguard our future.

I believe it's essential that global AI regulations include measures to prevent these technologies from worsening socioeconomic inequalities. AI holds tremendous potential to benefit society, but without proper safeguards and intentional design, it risks creating deeper divides. We must ensure AI systems are developed and deployed in ways that are fair, transparent, and inclusive, allowing everyone to share in the benefits of technological advancements.
