EU cybersecurity and preparedness in view of advanced AI systems (debate)
Madam President, thank you very much. Catching up with someone isn't really a vision. Especially when this is hardly an example. The vulgar and unnatural wealth that is now piling up among the American tech oligarchs is jeopardizing our democracy and our security. We need our own options in Europe. But Europe should not create its own tech moguls. The new technology should be used for human well-being. Not for a few to carve gold with soup spoons, while the rest of us pay by tarnishing our mental and emotional capacity by scrolling advertisements from morning to night. The vision must be about more leisure time, more security, more joy in people's everyday lives, about technology that frees rather than creates new shackles. Our job, it's to make sure we get out of this tech revolution as a fairer, better society for all.
