Margrethe Vestager

As the European Union Competition Commissioner, I am deeply concerned about the implications of companies developing super-persuasive AI that can influence democratic elections. Our democratic processes must be protected from manipulation, and allowing AI to potentially sway election outcomes poses a significant threat to democracy itself. We need to ensure strict regulations and ethical guidelines to prevent such technologies from undermining public trust and fair elections.

I believe digital representatives have the potential to enhance our democratic systems by more accurately reflecting the collective beliefs of constituencies. By leveraging advanced technology, we can ensure that decisions are made based on data and genuine public sentiment, thus increasing transparency and accountability in governance.
