E dunque io penso che non possiamo commettere l’errore di considerare questo dominio una sorta di zona franca senza regole. Servono meccanismi di governance globale che siano capaci di assicurare che queste tecnologie rispettino barriere etiche, che l’evoluzione della tecnologia rimanga al servizio dell’uomo e non vice versa. Serve dare applicazione pratica al concetto di algoretica, ovvero dare un etica agli algoritmi.

2023 September 20, Speech to the United Nations, spoken by Giorgia Meloni:

And so I think that we cannot make the mistake of considering this domain a sort of free zone without rules. We need mechanisms of global governance that are able to ensure that these technologies respect ethical boundaries, that the evolution of technology remains in the service of man and not vice versa. We need to give practical application to the concept of ethical computing — that is, making algorithms ethical.
