EU cybersecurity and preparedness in view of advanced AI systems (debate)
Dear President, dear colleagues. Experts say that in a few years, the social networks we use now will be history. They will be replaced by artificial intelligence with technologies that are still hard to understand for many. Security experts also warn that the time will soon come when artificial intelligence will show us the world. Those who control artificial intelligence will also control human actions. Unfortunately, every element of progress can be misused. Therefore, we need to prepare for the instrumentalisation of artificial intelligence. Colleagues talked about the use of data, but experts warn about poisoning the data. We are very pleased ChatGPT help, but we must be prepared for manipulation and misuse of data. All this will soon be the most important security issue. However, it would be a mistake to block progress with bans. There is an urgent need to invest in an autonomous AI infrastructure in the European Union. An effective system of AI education for the population is needed. We are structurally on the right track. In the current Commission, the portfolio of Henna Virkkunen already more clearly consolidates AI issues in a single political responsibility. Good luck to you, Hannah. We don't have much time.
