State in 2040
Robust global protection; equitable distribution
Data is shared fairly and transparently worldwide, supported by robust data protection protocols. Decentralised incentive models for the creation of high-quality content promote fairer data distribution, particularly towards countries in the Global South. New technologies ensure that all AI systems operate in compliance with data protection requirements.
