As final negotiations on the #AIAct kick off, together with 149 (!) orgs we call on #EU institutions to put people first.
Empower people, limit #surveillance & push back on #BigTech lobbying by removing loopholes.

The UK’s new #data bill is a “leaky valve” that will undermine the rights of millions of Europeans.
@EU_Commission please read our letter and stand up for EU citizens' rights!

It’s past time that govts & law-makers hold #BigTech to account.
Basic product safety demands would be the bare minimum. Why on earth would #digital be exempt?
For the sake of #democracy, public #safety & global #security, democracies must act while they still can.

What we should be asking on #AI & any other tech:
Should private firms be allowed to run uncontrolled experiments on humanity?

I agree with tech reporter @markscott82:
It’s unlikely that EU social media laws are going to be the panacea that many hope for.
“Will it fix social media within the first year? No.
Will it lead to gradual change that will take years to bear fruit? Probably.”

Is technology helping or hindering #democracy? And how should #Europe approach #BigTech?
Our founder @AliceStollmeyer urges:
* Co-design #tech with all actors in #society (psychologists, ethicists, anthropologists, etc)
* Develop a #public sector alternative to their products
