Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Generally, the right to information or cognitive liberty is fundamental, and this is very important to me. It’s one of the risks that I’ve been looking into of late. Earlier, I alluded to the issue of concentration of cognitive capability, as it’s called. Unfortunately, the concentration of cognitive capability is not just on knowledge itself, but also on the development and creation of what is known as creative knowledge. It’s not about knowledge itself, but the creation of knowledge.
One thing that intrigues and worries me in equal measure is the growing concentration of power and the fact that it’s concentrated in the hands of a small number of players. The term “universal” does not necessarily mean that it’s international and that it applies across all countries. The growing concentration of power rests in the hands of a few players.
You are the commissioner and we are parliamentarians. What legal framework do we have right now?
What path should we take to understand the problem and determine how best to protect personal information and the right to information, while ensuring it’s not managed through a single approach?
