Key takeaways included: \n\nDemocracy in the Digital Era: Schaake emphasized the urgency of adapting democratic governance to address challenges posed by rapid technological advancements\, advocating for policies that prioritize transparency\, accountability\, and citizen rights in the digital space.\nRegulating Big Tech: She highlighted the critical need for governments to step up and ensure that powerful tech corporations align with democratic values: “is it appropriate to have such big private powers without democratic guardrails and accountability at all? I believe that some of the solutions will have to come from a very laser focus on reclaiming the governance primacy on the part of democratic leaders and institutions. That should be the lens in every decision.” Ms. Schaake argued that regulation\, rather than hindering innovation\, can safeguard public interest while promoting ethical technological development.\nGlobal Perspectives on Technology: The audience explored the disparities in technological leadership and regulation across regions\, with Europe needing to bridge gaps in innovation compared to the U.S. and China. Ms. Schaake stressed the importance of Europe establishing its own model that integrates advanced technology with strong protections for democracy and human rights.\nThe Role of Artificial Intelligence: Ms. Schaake elaborated on AI’s transformative impact on society\, describing it as both an opportunity and a potential risk to democratic processes. She advocated for collaborative international efforts to establish ethical frameworks for AI development.\n\nThe session concluded with a powerful reminder from Ms. Schaake: “Technology is not inherently good or bad—it is up to us to ensure that it serves democracy\, rather than undermining it.” \nThis event reaffirmed the importance of fostering critical dialogue between policymakers\, academics\, and citizens to safeguard democracy in the digital age.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \nPROGRAMME LIBRORUM\n“The Tech Coup: How to save Democracy from Silicon Valley” by former MEP Marietje Schaake\n\n\n\n10.00 – 10.05\nWelcome\nby Klaus HÄNSCH\, President of the European Parliament Former Members Association and Former President of the European Parliament\n\n\n10.05 – 10.10\nIntroduction\nby Danny DE PAEPE\, Head of the European Parliament Liaison Office (EPLO) in The Netherlands\n\n\n10.10 – 10.20\nPresentation of the author Marietje Schaake and the book\nby Manuel PORTO\, FMA Board Member\n\n\n10.20 – 10.50\nQ&A session with author Marietje Schaake and the audience\nby Michael HINDLEY\, FMA Board Member\n\n\n10.50 – 11.00\nConclusions\nby Michael HINDLEY\, FMA Board Member\n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Following the Librorum event\, the FMA Annual Seminar took place from 11.00 to 13.00. \nThese events are part of the FMA End of Year Greetings from 3-4 December 2024.
