by

Peter Hummelgaard is the Minister of Justice of Denmark and has become one of the greatest defenders of Chat Control. The measure, which is part of the regulation to fight child abuse on the network, would mean a Hard blow to the privacy of European citizens to the end the end -to -end encryptionbut for Humelgaard this should not be a right. Hard statements. While other European countries are discussed on whether the end (fighting child abuse) justifies the media (that everyone’s conversations cease to be private), Danish justice has a very hard position about it. In Danish television statementsHummelgaard said that: “We must break with the totally wrong perception that communicating through encrypted messaging services is a civil freedom of all.” Maximum priority. Last week we collected the news of the Chat Control Return. The measure, which has been rejected aboveis being promoted again by Denmark, which since July occupies the presidency of the EU Council. Denmark was always in favor of this measure, and now They are treating it with the highest priority. What is chat control. It is the name with which the CSAM regulation (Child sex abuse material) is known. What Denmark wants and countries in favor of this measure is that the authorities can force the messaging services to give access to the content to scan it in real time, including those who are encrypted from extreme to the end, such as WhatsApp or Signal. Although it is presented with a very specific purpose, in practice it would be open the door to mass surveillance. Positions. On September 12 there was a meeting in which the countries made their position in front of this measure, whose final vote will occur next October 14. The positions of the countries have moved these days and, according to the Fight Chat Control informationthere are currently 14 states in favor, 10 against and 3 undecided states. If the undecided choose to reject it, there would be a draw. A lot of at stake. And on both sides. Germany has been one of the countries that has recently opposed the measure and Point out the problem From the Danish proposal: “Private and confidential communications must remain private. At the same time, there is an obligation to combat child abuse on the Internet (…) Danish posture cannot be backed 100 %.” Luxembourg, Slovakia And Estonia also recently opposed. Spain wants chat control. In 2023, before Chat Control was first rejected, A filtration revealed that The Government of Spain was in favor of ending end -to -end encryption. In a debate on the subject and while other countries defended the possibility of scanning in search of sensitive material without ending the encrypted, Minister Grande Marlaska said that “it is essential that we have access to the data (encrypted).” Images | World Economic Forum and Pexels In Xataka | Nepal’s youth are experiencing a new type of democracy: deciding the country’s future in discord

Albania has a Minister of AI. Not a person who manages AI, no. An AI that have appointed Virtual Minister

by

Is called dielle and it will be The new Minister Ia de Albania. It will not be a person, but a virtual minister controlled by an artificial intelligence system. The country becomes the first to raise something like that, and the decision has a lot to do with a theoretical advantage of the machines: with them there is no corruption that is worth. Minister Diella. The new minister (her name means “light of the sun”, in Albanian) will be in charge of managing the public hiring of the State and even has its own avatar in which a middle -aged woman dressed in a traditional Albanian suit is shown. In Spain we do not have an exclusive ministry for these functions, and this competition is part of the Fundamental competences of the Ministry of Finance and Public Function. New team of ministers in Albania. The announcement was made yesterday Thursday Albanian Prime Minister, Edi Rama. Took advantage The Assembly of the Socialist Party to indicate which ministers would leave their position and which would remain in the new mandate (the fourth behind the May elections), but also presented Diella saying “Diella is the first member who is not physically present, but is created virtually by artificial intelligence.” Goodbye to corruption? Rama explained that tenders will cease to be the responsibility of the ministries and will be put in the hands of Diella. The implementation of the AI ​​will be “step by step”, but the intention of Rama is to ensure that public tenders are “100 % incorruptible and that all public funds that pass through the bidding procedure will be 100 % legible.” Possible adhesion to the EU. Corruption has been a problem that Albania has tried to mitigate for years, especially in administration and public tenders. It is something that According to politician It has even been discussed long in the European Union. Albania Tien options to become in EU member country in 2030. AI could become president of Albania. Already during the summer He pointed out To that possibility in saying that the country could have a digital minister and even end up being governed by a prime minister totally based on an AI, but it did not seem likely to move such a fast file. Precedents in Ukraine. In May 2024 the Foreign Minister of Ukraine presented to “Victoria Shi”, a government spokeswoman generated by AI who was dedicated to reading official communications and providing information to the company. The country also launched a public procurement system controlled by an AI that baptized as Prozorro and that is oriented to monitor tenders and detect patterns of possible corruption, something similar to what is now announced by Albania. In Sweden we already knew how Your prime minister uses chatgpt to have “second opinions.” Electronic Government underway. DIELLA will also be a fundamental part of the Albania Electronic Government Platform, called e-albania. This system allows Albanian citizens to perform all kinds of efforts electronically. But. The announcement is striking, but also disturbing for several reasons: Legal and political responsibility. To begin with, an AI cannot assume legal responsibility or accountability. In case of mistakes – and the AI ​​commits them, as we know – or biases, who is sanctioned? Biases and vulnerabilities. Algorithms that govern AI are trained with data that may contain biases and therefore can be contaminated. They can also be exposed to cyber attacks and a manipulation from within. Limited transparency. Although the idea raises advantages for transparency, public decision making should be explained and debated. The “black box” of algorithms can end up replacing democratic control – with their own problems – with an opaque technocratic maintains.

There are those who use chatgpt to create a vacation plan. Swedish prime minister uses it to govern

by

Ulf Kristersson, Prime Minister of Sweden and leader of the country’s conservative coalition, He has publicly recognized that consults artificial intelligence tools such as Chatgpt and Mishwner (Mistral European chatbot) to obtain “second opinions” in its government decisions. A statement that has unleashed a political and academic storm about the risks of using AI in such critical sectors as public and citizen management. In the focus. In An interview With the Dagens Industri Economic newspaper, Kristersson not only admitted their personal use of these tools, but also revealed that their collaborators also employ them in their daily work. “I use it quite often, even if it is to obtain a second opinion” said the prime minister. Apparently, Kristersson claims to use the tools to ask things like “What have others done? Or should we think just the opposite?”, He explained about the questions he asked. A devastating reaction. The Actonbladet newspaper accused directly to Kristersson having “fallen into the psychosis of the AI of the oligarchs.” Meanwhile, some experts have shown concern about security and democratic implications. Simone Fischer-Hübner, researcher and computer expert at the University of Karlstad, warned about the dangers of introducing sensitive information in Chatgpt: “You have to be very careful.” The warning makes sense, since although the company has security and privacy measures, any conversation we have with the chatbot ends on OpenAi servers. Therefore, it is not a very safe approach, especially if we talk about such a critical use as in the political dome. Beyond security. Virginia Dignum, professor of artificial intelligence responsible at the University of Umeå, assures that AI cannot offer significant opinions about political ideas, since it simply reflects the biases of those who developed it. “The more it depends on AI for simple things, the greater the risk of excess confidence in the system. It is a slippery slope,” he warned. And he finished with a phrase that has turned the world around in networks and media: “We do not vote for Chatgpt.” A defense that does not convince. Kristerson spokesman Tom Samuelsson tried to minimize controversy ensuring that the prime minister does not handle sensitive information through these platforms and that he uses them “more as a general reference.” However, Jakob Ohlsson, an expert in AI, Point out that even seemingly harmless information can reveal patterns of government strategic thinking to technology companies in charge of this type of systems. It is these types of examples that show us The great adoption that have had these types of systems, regardless of the sector in which they work.
