We call for a strong #EU #AIAct — one that tackles risks posed by generative #AI systems like #ChatGPT.

Our founder @AliceStollmeyer urges:
* Co-design #tech with all actors in #society (psychologists, ethicists, anthropologists, etc)
* Develop a #public sector alternative to their products#DefendDemocracy #EYL40Brussels #PeopleVsBigTech
