The regulation of AI is crucial to ensure it serves humanity ethically and safely. As we integrate more AI into our devices and services, having a clear regulatory framework can help protect user privacy, prevent biases, and ensure that AI deployments enhance societal benefits without detrimental impacts.

As a proponent for user privacy and security, I believe that third-party audits should be mandatory for major AI systems. These audits ensure that the algorithms making decisions in our lives are transparent, fair, and respect users' privacy.

I believe that the EU should not wait for a common agreement with the US and China before regulating AI. Each region must take steps to ensure that AI is developed and deployed in a way that respects privacy and human rights. Regulatory harmonization is important, but it should not delay necessary protections.

I believe that while the threat of AI misuse by terrorist organizations is real and concerning, it does not justify invasive surveillance. Privacy and civil liberties are fundamental human rights that must be protected. We must find ways to address these security threats without compromising on privacy.
