Brando Benifei, rapporteur. – Madam President, dear colleagues, myself and Dragoş are very proud to present you this compromise text. It will be an historical vote where we not only address the most pressing issues with AI, but we also give a clear message to the rest of the world on how we think it should be done; how we can preserve our democracies and support innovation at the same time. I want to thank all of you who participated in this work. It’s been a collective effort. Let’s deliver together now. Let’s vote.
Dragoş Tudorache, rapporteur. – Madam President, dear colleagues, this institution, our Parliament, has been the political trailblazer on AI for the last three years. When we voted in Committee three weeks ago, 300 media outlets around the world reported on that vote, and 99.6% of those reports were positive, laudative of the address of what we are doing here in this Parliament. So let’s live up to this expectation when we vote today. Give Brando and myself a powerful mandate with which we can go through trialogues and then come back to you again with a text that meets everyone’s ambitions.
– After the vote on the Commission proposal:
Dragoş Tudorache, rapporteur. – Madam President, dear colleagues, thank you very much for the vote today, for all of you, no matter how you voted. And now, dear President, according to Rule 59(4) I ask that the file is sent back to the interinstitutional negotiations. In fact, we start tonight.
