European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has delivered her annual State of the European Union address in Strasbourg.⁣ ⁣ Here are three key points:⁣ ⁣ 1. AI risks⁣ ⁣ Von der Leyen warned that AI development could move beyond human control. She called for a slower, safer approach, although she offered few concrete proposals for regulation.⁣ ⁣ 2. Social media and children⁣ ⁣ She proposed banning social media for under-13s, with stricter supervision for teenagers up to 15. Some groups support the idea but argue that authorities should focus on addictive algorithms rather than broad age-based bans.⁣ ⁣ 3. Closer ties with Canada⁣ ⁣ Von der Leyen proposed opening a path for Canada to become the EU’s first associate member. The idea would deepen trade and security ties as Canada faces growing tensions with the United States.⁣ ⁣ #EU #Europe #UrsulaVonDerLeyen #AI #SocialMedia #Canada #MarkCarney
