How to read these statements

Vote on your current views first. The references in this box are optional background — they are not a test, and we surface more perspectives and analysis after you participate (consensus map and journey recap).

References aim for institutional variety (for example official data, legislatures, international bodies, and independent research). Inclusion is not endorsement; external sites set their own editorial standards.

Your vote records what you think today — you are not expected to read the optional references below first. They explain how we frame statements. After you vote, use Consensus analysis (when it unlocks) and your journey recap for follow-up reading.

Consider EU AI Act implementation, research policy, and fundamental rights.
