23/04/2026 | 17:47:26 Thank you, Mister Chair. Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer the future, it is part of everyday life. AI is used to create texts, images, musics, and even write code. But what happens to copyright? Technology has developed faster than our laws, and only now are we starting to think about many problems related to AI. The basic idea of copyright is simple. It protects the creator of creative work and ensures they get credit and possibly payment for their work. AI challenges this idea.

They really carry around disturbing content, bullying, and violence in their pockets. But are mobile phones really needed at school? I think, no. Supervision is needed and the... 23/06/2023 | 12:39:18 Thank you. Digitalisation has made life easier. Everybody knows this, but not everyone can use digitalisation. A large number of people are without digitalisation. Advice and teaching about digitalisation is needed. Advice must be really applied and understandable. Medical information is digital. Not everyone has a computer at home. I think municipalities, cities, hospitals, and maybe pharmacists could help people. Pharmacies, yes are important places. People think that pharmacies could...
