Dialogue

This dialogue is fictional and based on the article.

Chako: Hey, Log, does AI really have that much influence?
Log: Yeah, the recent evolution of AI is said to have a significant impact on society. Especially since there’s a growing demand for transparency in information.
Chako: But isn’t AI just a program? What’s so special about it?
Navi: AI has the ability to generate information, which carries the risk of spreading misinformation, so it’s considered necessary to be transparent with users.
Log: That’s probably why the EU made transparency mandatory. I think it’s important for detecting false information as well.
Chako: I see, that makes sense!

Admin’s Note

The news about the AI regulation law enacted by the EU raises important considerations regarding the social responsibilities that come with the evolution of AI. In particular, the requirement for transparency is expected to strengthen the trust between users and providers. However, we need to closely monitor how this will be implemented in practice and how the outcomes will affect the future development of AI technology. Chako’s questions are also excellent. When considering the impact of AI, it’s essential to provide explanations that are easy for children to understand.
