Today\, there is a lively atmosphere both in the centre and at Tallinn University\, with students from many European countries hoping for an opportunity. Estonia has been declared the most digitally developed country in the world and is also home to the inventor of Skype. \nI was invited to present artificial intelligence (AI) from the EU’s point of view at a conference at the Technology University of Tallinn from 12 to 13 February. I challenged the students with questions on which they shared their own reflections after my presentation. We then shared our findings at a roundtable discussion with their professors. How can AI improve people’s lives and what are the fears about it? How many EU regulations on AI are there? Where can we find practical examples of AI? \nAI does not only have an economic impact\, but also social\, cultural and ethical impacts. Data is quickly becoming the most powerful economic driver. It is the basis for algorithms and AI. Corporations like Google\, Amazon\, Facebook and Twitter own data and will shape the future. AI uses machine-learning processes based on algorithms using vast sets of data – web pages we have visited\, our genetics\, past purchases\, our behaviour etc. Algorithms will be used more and more often to inform decision-making related to politics\, medicine\, banks\, traffic… But first of all\, we need to build public awareness and acceptance of this new technology. We need to reinvent our mindset within the digital reality and discover the positive impact on our daily lives. AI would make life easier\, solve health issues like cancer\, help medical professionals to plan the treatment of diseases\, assist us when we are traveling (Google Maps\, Tripadvisor etc.) and power robots helping the elderly. Negative impacts would be fake news\, unemployment\, cyberattacks and reduced privacy. Digital Europe is one of the EU’s five priorities for the next five years. \nSmart policies are needed to regulate intelligent machines. The Commission has prepared white papers on AI\, which will be the basis for further regulations. Parliament has adopted many resolutions on the responsible development and use of AI. The most practical way to use of AI at the present moment is to tackle the coronavirus pandemic. Health monitoring platforms developed by high-tech companies can monitor the spread of coronavirus and report on its consequences. Their sources are global airline ticket data\, medical community websites and social media posts on symptoms such as a fever or breathing problems. AI is also being used in the US elections with new campaign technology showing how the Republicans are performing against the Democrats. The candidates have spent millions of US dollars on Facebook and Google campaigns. Algorithm and machine learning helps to micro-target voters through social media. AI will shape political decisions and our lives. But there is no better choice. It’s like democracy. It’s not good enough\, but better than all the other systems such as communism and fascism. \nThis report was also published in our June 2020 FMA Bulletin.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:EUI- HAEU- Gyula HEGYI
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Gyula HEGYI\, FMA Member\, participated in the EP to Campus programme organised by the Historical Archives at the prestigious Villa Salviati in Florence. This programme is addressed to high schools students and this year is dedicated to “The free movement of persons and the dynamics and memories of mobility in the EU”. \nRead an article written by Gyula Hegyi here. \n“Talking about the future of Europe at the European University Institute in Florence. Students BELIEVE IN THE FUTURE OF EUROPE! DON’T LET THEM BE DISAPPOINTED”\, By Gyula Hegyi[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”EUROPEAN LESSONS FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN FLORENCE\nMission report” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23002eaf” google_fonts=”font_family:Raleway%3A100%2C200%2C300%2Cregular%2C500%2C600%2C700%2C800%2C900|font_style:800%20bold%20regular%3A800%3Anormal”][vc_column_text]It is always encouraging to meet young people who are interested in European affairs. The Historical Archives of the European Union (HAEU)\, which is based in Florence\, Italy\, frequentlyorganises special educational programmes for students from secondary schools (known as a ‘gymnasium’ in certain countries in Europe)\, in addition to its scientific and research activities.\nUsually there is one student class participating per session\, during which the Archives experts run a class and answer questions fromstudents and teachers. Sometimes former MEPs are invited to hold a session\, and on 18 and 19 February 2020 I was fortunate enough to take advantage of this opportunity. On the first day\, I met two different classes and I met another one on the second day. \nAfter introducing myself\, I spoke about my experience working at the European Parliament and the European Commission. I also spoke about the scholarship and job possibilities for young people at the different European institutions–in my experience\, this is something that always interests young students. Although\, it is always worth emphasising that\, generally speaking\, young people have to finish their university studies before applying for jobs or scholarships at the EU. Many questions were raised in every session. Most of the students asked their questions in English\, and some of them asked them in Italian. Although\, it turns out that those who asked their questions in Italian did in fact understand my answers\, which I gave in English. I was informed that some of them were also fluent French speakers. \nAs I am from Hungary\, I was asked some rather pointed questions about Mr Viktor Orbán and his friendship with Mr Matteo Salvini. Neither I nor the students (at least\, those who spoke up) shared the views of those politicians. We all agreed that Europe should be more democratic and united. I followed this up by saying that we have to strengthen our common European values\, but stressed that we should be proud of our national heritage\, our culture and mother tongue. They asked me how many assistants and trainees I had worked with during my years at Parliament and how they were recruited. This is a topic that always comes up whenever I meet students. \nI also talked to their teachers and they told me that these educational programmes run by the HAEU are very useful. The beautiful location of the HAEU\, the famous Villa Salviati on the Via Bolognese is an impressive place for such programmes. Once my sessions were over\, we all had a guided visit of the extensive archive and we attended an additional session led by one of the guides. The HAEU do an excellent job with these informal but also serious and valuable educational programmes.\nOn the second day\, I was also asked to visit the nearby European University Institute (EUI) in Fiesole.As part of the Thoughts for Europe debate\, I gave a short introduction entitled ‘The EU at a critical juncture: a Hungarian perspective’. After my introduction\, we had a good debate with experts and researchers from the EUI. Some of them had already studied the situation in Hungary on and the dangers posed by the antidemocratic tendencies of the Orbán Government. I tried to give a balanced picture of the situation and reiterated the responsibility of the European institutions and the European People’s Party. For instance\, the independent Hungarian media do not get any help from the EU while the Government-controlled media receive a considerable level of support from the state. \nI left Italy just before the pandemic hit. I would like to express my sympathy and solidarity to everybody I met during my visit to Florence.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
