I believe repealing the EU AI Act would be a step backward. Ensuring that AI is developed and deployed responsibly aligns with our values at Apple. Regulations like the EU AI Act help establish a framework that promotes innovation while also safeguarding privacy and fundamental rights.

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.

I believe the development of emotion-detecting AI should be regulated to ensure it is used ethically and responsibly. As technology progresses, we must prioritize user privacy and prevent misuse that could harm individuals or groups.

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 offering regulatory exemptions for small companies is essential for fostering innovation. It gives them the flexibility to experiment with AI without the burden of heavy compliance. However, this must be balanced with responsible stewardship to ensure trust and safety in AI advancements.

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.

As the CEO of a global company, I believe an EU-wide incorporation form would greatly simplify the process of starting and expanding businesses across Europe. Uniformity in business regulations would foster innovation and economic growth, making it easier for companies like Apple to scale operations effectively and bring more products and services to European consumers.

As the CEO of a global company, I understand the complexities and differing perspectives on stock option taxation. While it's crucial to have fair tax policies, it's equally important to consider the broader impact on innovation and talent retention. Hence, I believe this topic requires careful deliberation by policymakers.
