"Today we are deeply concerned about the very survival of democracy and the rule of law", writes former President of #CostaRica 🇨🇷, Laura Chinchilla M., in a piece for The New York Times on the spread of #FakeNews and #Disinformation in the #GlobalSouth. Read 👇 nyti.ms/2OZ3eEW

From John Frank “#Disinformation is undermining people’s faith in democracies. We all have a role to play in tackling this issue and creating a trustworthy and safe online environment.” Microsoft European Affairs #democracy @clubdemadrid#aimadrid more info: bit.ly/aimadrid

According to George A. Tilesch “#AI is a double-edged sword it can become the best resource for those protecting #democratic values, but the most dangerous weapon for adversaries. We all have a responsibility to choose now: whose image will AI take?” #aimadrid #clubdemadrid

"Stop looking at tech as consumers, look at technology as citizens." The way we engineer & train our machine learning systems in the future will profoundly affect our status in society and the esteem in which we are held #aimadrid #digitaltransformation” The digital is political

Is #digital political? The answer is YES! Our political action is about addressing challenges brought by the #digital transformation on the basis of solid and stable #European values. Thank you @clubdemadrid for an excellent and prompt exchange!

Participants are exchanging ideas about how to create a good democratic society, to do so we must invest in quality #education and promote critical thinking #aimadrid #democracy

Do you think younger people are more open to artificial intelligence than older generations? Our poll finds #AI attitudes hardly vary by age. Those under 35 are only slightly less likely than those older to agree with calls to restrict AI use by government ow.ly/iOfP50wQf2s

Comments from Boris Tadić Former President of Serbia and WLA-CdM Member shared his personal experience with how #fakenews affected him as he led his country in the early 2000s #digitaltransformation #aimadrid

How concerned are you about fake news? Over half of people in 27 countries believe there's a great deal/fair amount of #fakenews in print media, TV & radio. People are even more skeptical of information on #news websites. See where concerns are the highest ow.ly/oamB50wQCU3

Welcome Back! Kicking things off for Digital Transformation and the Future of Democracy #ArtificialIntelligence Policy Dialogue Day 2 we are continuing our Action Labs. #aimadrid #clubdemadrid

#Trust is an important part of innovation. For instance, before the ride-sharing app’s, not a lot of people shared cars with strangers. This #transformation is changing how we need to design regulations in the digital and #AI world #aimadrid #clubdemadrid

We need to address the issue of #digital monopolies. Is there enough pluralism in the control of the main information routes? Especially when these companies have access to so much of our data and have been known to use it to pursuade the political conversation #aimadrid

There are no common standards for #AI worldwide, as there are in environmental or safety issues. We must "speak the same language" in AI throughout the world. #aimadrid #clubdemadrid

And our final Working Group leader George A. Tilesch of Ipsos Global Affairs "What is starting now will be unlike anything that has ever happened" #aimdarid
