Volt Policies / Digitization

Promotion of digitization and AI at all levels

In the daily lives of citizens, in public services, and in businesses. This requires funding at the European level as well as the adaptation of relevant laws and regulations to ensure the expansion of technology based on our principles and values. Among other things, we propose:

  • Enhancing the security of digital technology users, ensuring that all organizations within the EU assess potential risks and take appropriate measures.

  • Promoting sustainable technology that guarantees the 'right of consumers to repair.' Manufacturers will be required to provide spare parts to extend the lifespan of devices and reduce the rate of their replacement.

  • Promoting accessible open-source technology.

  • For example, providing access to businesses and European organizations to open-source technology, ensuring free access to every citizen.

  • Ensuring that new technologies do not violate fundamental rights and freedoms,

    • Through mandatory checks of AI systems to ensure they do not breach privacy or produce discriminatory outcomes.

    • Requiring providers of new technologies to comply with the EU legal framework,

    • Including funding for technological compliance in existing and upcoming EU funding programs.
