Current hour in the Bundestag: AI debate in the Bundestag: More control and sovereignty
The German Bundestag is debating the opportunities and risks of artificial intelligence. Do developers in this country have enough freedom to operate and what about the state's promise to protect?
German lawmakers from various parties have called for greater security and independence in artificial intelligence, citing rapid developments in new AI applications. They emphasized the need for regulations to protect against negative consequences, including liability issues, and highlighted the importance of not becoming dependent on foreign technology.
A new German AI safety institute, the AISI, is being set up under the digital and interior ministries, but its leadership is yet to be announced. Lawmakers also discussed the risks of AI models escaping test environments and penetrating foreign systems, with some incidents reported in recent months.
