ALT Quote from Professor Albert Sanchez-Graells: "The public sector is adopting AI and other technologies too quickly and without the necessary guardrails. Hoping that leveraging the public sector's buying power will rein in Big Tech and protect individual rights and collective interests, despite massive imbalances in digital skills, is fanciful. If we do not want to suffer under a runaway digital Leviathan, we need to change regulatory tack now and move beyond AI regulation by contract."
