Shidaa Opening Speech
Honourable Chair and Esteemed Delegates.Over the years,
Developed countries have begun to prioritize AI efficiency
and speed over human rights and empathy. Because of this,
AI has issues like algorithmic bias, “black box” algorithms
and digital colonialism.
The Delegation of Estonia is fully opposed to this idea of
algorithmic bias and black box algorithms. Instead, we
believe that technology must serve people, not replace their
rights. In Estonia, nearly every public service is online, yet
every citizen retains the right to know who accesses their
data and why.
Instead, the delegate of Estonia calls on this committee to
promote transparent and explainable AI, strengthen data
governance and privacy protections, and enhance
international cooperation to ensure shared ethical
standards.
The future of AI must not only be advanced—it must be fair,
accountable, and built on trust.
Thank you.
