Great morning at @MicrosoftEU’s #ECA24 event and great to bump into @carmeartigas after a while.
Very interesting conversations on a crucial topic: ensuring #AI governance is aligned globally, rather than fragmented.
To uphold our 🇪🇺 values, we need successful European companies creating value.

🚨We suspect #TikTokLite feature to be toxic & addictive, in particular for children.
Unless TikTok provides compelling proof of safety —which it failed to do until now—we stand ready to trigger #DSA interim measures including the #suspension of the TikTokLite "reward programme"
