What are the legislative differences between the pioneering role of the European Union in data protection and Artificial Intelligence (AI) regulation? Is Chit Chat a new quantum leap compared to the Internet Revolution? How do we address hate speech and disinformation, and the role they have in society? Are whistleblowers friends or foes of democratic processes and can we ensure a human rights friendly use of AI?
