Digital rights in Cyprus need to keep up with technology

In the age of artificial intelligence and algorithms, Cyprus needs a 'digital rights charter', an MP said on Monday. Christos Christofides (Akel), chair of the House human rights committee, stated that such a charter would guide modernizing legislation. He emphasized that the issue is about the present, not the future, as AI already impacts information access, work, education, and democracy. Citing EU initiatives like the European declaration on digital rights and the AI Act, Christofides called for a broad public discussion to formulate a charter that would serve as a framework for related laws.
