Addressing Disinformation and AI Risks

Dear Klaus, Let me go back to the number one concern of the Global Risk Report – disinformation

and misinformation.

Tackling this has been our focus since the very beginning of my mandate.

With our Digital Services Act, we defined the responsibilities of large Internet platforms

on the content they promote and propagate – a responsibility to children and vulnerable

groups targeted by hate speech, but also a responsibility to our societies as a whole.

Because the boundary between online and offline is getting thinner and thinner.

And the values we cherish offline should also be protected online.

And this is even more important in this new era of generative AI.

Now, the World Economic Forum Global Risk Report puts artificial intelligence as one

of the top potential risks for the next decade.
