AI Authority Arrives Late
In setting up the national authority, which according to the EU regulation should have actually started at the beginning of August, there has been a delay, Pröll admitted. "By the end of the summer" there will be a solution. However, it is still open where the AI authority will be located.
AI Authority at RTR?
According to the government program, the new authority is to be built on the AI service center of the Rundfunk und Telekom Regulierungs-GmbH (RTR). Whether it will be located at the RTR is still a subject of negotiations among the coalition parties, according to Pröll. "Perhaps there are also smarter options and they need to be considered," he said.
Proposal for Seniors
To increase digital skills among the population, the State Secretary proposes an intergenerational model. "In the last week of school before the summer holidays, when the report cards are already written, one could open the schools for seniors for a day," said Pröll. Students could thus pass on their knowledge under the supervision of teachers, according to the proposal he wants to discuss with Education Minister Christoph Wiederkehr (NEOS).
