AGENDA ITEM I : DISCUSSIONS UPON THREAT OF FRAGILE DEMOCRACIES AND DEMOCRATIC BACKSLIDING IN THE EUROPEAN UNION

AGENDA ITEM II : ADDRESSING THE RISE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE EUROPEAN UNION: BALANCING INNOVATION AND REGULATION

Welcome to the EU Commission, where we confront the urgent challenges facing our democratic foundations and the rapid rise of artificial intelligence! As fragile democracies in the European Union face unprecedented threats, we must engage in meaningful discussions about democratic backsliding and the implications for our societies. It is vital that we protect the core values of democracy, accountability, and human rights against the encroaching tides of populism and authoritarianism.

Simultaneously, we must address the rise of artificial intelligence, which holds both transformative potential and significant risks. How do we balance innovation with regulation to ensure that AI serves the public good without compromising our democratic principles? This is not just a technological challenge but a moral one, as we consider the ethical implications of AI in shaping our future.

Together, let us forge a path that safeguards our democratic institutions while embracing the opportunities that innovation presents. Your insights and commitment to these critical issues will be essential as we navigate these complex discussions.
