We've got the AI Act.
We've got the Digital Services Act.
We have legislation that's setting a bit of a base, but there's still a lot of work to be done to really fill in the gaps.
And really what we need to be doing is developing this idea of a healthy ecosystem, not just waiting for it to hopefully happen, but actually working backwards saying if we had a healthy ecosystem around the creation, the labeling, the verification of content, what does that look like?
And then providers can implement and be nudged to implement tools for that.
But also users as well can be empowered to know how do you navigate those systems?
How can you ask the right questions?
Absolutely right.
And there's a whole question here about intellectual property, owning our data, and just actually having access to some of these systems.
Now, it's interesting because technology may come to our aid here.
New systems, blockchain technology, verification systems potentially can implement the kind of things that we want here.
Maybe not perfectly, but at least a huge improvement.
But I hear you, and as a psychologist, I work with a lot of people individually affected by this.
You know, it's not just a sort of a policy thing.
It's a real experience, as you say, for so many people.
And it affects people in so many different ways.
One of the things the European Federation of Psychologists Associations that does a lot of advocacy around this on a European level is really pushing for is that
ownership and access to one's own data, the ability to kind of see where it's going and what's happening, and then very quickly to be able to engage if it's going in the wrong direction, rather than we either don't know about it or we engage and we get the runaround.
Yeah, it's a step in the right direction and some of these rulings can have practical implications financially.
There's a number of other legal cases in European Commission actions that are happening in this direction.
