Amnesty International Danmark har gjort kampen mod »hadsk tale« til en central mission, og som jeg tidligere har skrevet, udgav Amnesty Danmark tidligere på året en rapport baseret på tvivlsomme metoder og selektiv data, som konkluderede, at racismeparagraffen burde udvides, så flere danskere kan straffes for »hadsk tale«.

I sidste uge var jeg i Danmark og tale ved Copenhagen Democracy Summit om en af de vigtigste skillelinjer i vores digitale fremtid: Den mellem kreativ ai og indgribende ai – og hvordan den vil forme ytringsfriheden i det 21. århundrede. Kreativ ai fungerer som et mentalt eksoskelet. Den hjælper os med at tænke, skrive, søge og skabe. Det er ikke længere bare chatbot – generativ ai er i gang med at blive den nye grænseflade for viden og kommunikation.
