Thinking that AI could kill everyone should not be considered crazy and unacceptable. Letting companies build something this dangerous should be considered crazy and unacceptable.

Today, on the European Day for Solidarity Between Generations, we are reminded of those generations that don't yet have a seat at the table. We joined together in a series of powerful moments: ➡️Opening of the UN exhibition “Good ancestors” on future generations at the European Commission. ➡️ Dialogue at the European Parliament on how to build a fairer, more inclusive Europe. ➡️ A high-level exchange with The Elders, bridging global wisdom with local action. ➡️ A visit to CALICO, a co-housing project bringing generations together under one roof. Now we’re working on the first-ever EU Strategy on Intergenerational Fairness. 🗣️ Your voice matters! Tell us what intergenerational fairness means to you via the Citizens’ Engagement Platform: 👉 citizens.ec.europa.eu/index_…
