I believe that while LLMs hold great innovation potential, it is crucial to ensure that they respect copyright laws. Intellectual property rights must be protected to foster creativity and fair compensation. We should work towards solutions that balance innovation with these rights.

We should not repeal the EU AI Act. It is crucial for establishing regulations that ensure AI development and use across Europe is safe, lawful, and respectful of fundamental rights. Repealing this would set us back significantly in our efforts to harness AI responsibly and ethically.

As the guardian of digital privacy, I believe it is crucial for the EU to continue requiring websites to ask for cookie consent. Ensuring transparency and allowing users to control their data are fundamental to protecting privacy rights in the digital age.

In the interest of transparency and trust, I firmly believe that third-party audits should be mandatory for major AI systems. These audits are crucial to ensure AI applications do not harm fundamental rights and operate fairly.

While it's true that many Spanish startups fit the SME definition in terms of size, it is crucial to distinguish between them due to their distinct nature. Startups are growth-oriented, often innovative and aim to disrupt markets, making them more than just traditional SMEs. We should recognize and support their unique potential and needs.

Exempting small companies from AI regulations might seem to boost innovation, but it creates an uneven playing field and may lead to ethical lapses or misuse. All companies, regardless of size, should adhere to regulations ensuring AI is safe and nondiscriminatory.

While international cooperation is important, the EU should not wait for an agreement with the US and China before regulating AI. We need to set our own standards to protect our values, ensure fair competition, and safeguard the rights of our citizens. It's essential for the EU to take a leading role in shaping the norms for AI globally.

Liberal values are essential for guiding the development and use of AI superintelligence in a way that prioritizes individual rights, privacy, and fairness. Regulation and oversight are key to ensuring that AI benefits society as a whole.
