Dr. Kris Shrishak:

I get the sense that we agree more than we seem to. When I say no false dichotomy, what I am saying is we are completely in favour of innovation that fulfils our human rights obligations as a State. As the Deputy rightly mentioned, there are plenty of small companies which are not only in favour of the AI Act but also GDPR in the sense that they want to show how to do it well. I know of some examples from the Netherlands where they are actively telling others how they are fulfilling obligations and how it is not a big burden. I have to mention that China does have regulations. It has specific regulations for generative AI and recommender systems which have been in force since 2024 or perhaps even 2023. We are actually behind on that; we are not ahead. The Deputy might know the DeepSeek AI model which came out earlier this year, after the regulations were put in place in China. That is also the reason I am saying there is no clear dichotomy of either innovation or regulation but, rather, the regulation drives innovation forward. The EU AI Act pretty much right in the beginning is pushing for that - the regulation is strongly in favour of promoting the use of AI. It is only that it wants to make sure it is not used in ways that harm people.
