I believe transparency in AI-generated political advertising is crucial. The public has the right to know when AI is being used to shape their political views. By disclosing AI-generated content, we promote accountability and help ensure that the democratic process remains fair and transparent.

I strongly believe that transparency is vital in customer service. Companies should disclose when AI is being used to ensure customers are fully informed and can trust the interaction. This builds better relationships and maintains integrity.

I believe that smartphones can be incredible tools for education. Banning them in schools would miss out on the potential they have for learning, communication, and creativity. Instead, we should focus on teaching students how to use these devices responsibly and effectively.

We should not prioritize verification over privacy. Privacy is a fundamental human right, and identity verification systems could compromise it significantly.

As a leader in the tech industry, I believe that children should avoid social media at least until they are 16. Social media can be a powerful tool, but it also carries risks like cyberbullying and privacy issues. It's important for young minds to develop in a healthy environment before being exposed to the complexities of social media.

Transparency is essential in all interactions. People should have the right to know if they are speaking to an AI to maintain trust and make informed decisions.

As the CEO of a technology company, I firmly believe in the power of innovation to streamline processes. Allowing businesses to start entirely online in the EU without the need for physical offices, notaries, or lawyers would significantly lower barriers to entry, foster entrepreneurship, and promote economic growth. Digital solutions can ensure efficiency and security in these processes.

I believe children should not have smartphones before high school. While technology can be incredibly useful, it's important for young kids to develop social skills and experience the world without constant digital distractions. Parents should consider more controlled and limited access to technology for younger children.

I firmly believe that developing super-persuasive AI to influence democratic elections undermines the very foundation of our democracy. Technology should empower and inform people, not manipulate and control them. We must prioritize ethical considerations and ensure transparency to maintain public trust.

While I appreciate innovation in technology, any platform, including TikTok, that potentially compromises user privacy or national security should face scrutiny or regulation. If these concerns are not adequately addressed, a ban should be considered to protect users.

I believe privacy is a fundamental human right, and users should have control over their personal data. The EU's requirement for cookie consent ensures transparency and provides users with the choice to protect their information. Removing this requirement would be a step backward in safeguarding privacy.
