Robots march in Warsaw to call for improved AI regulation

Waving flags, "chanting" slogans, and marching in circles: around 30 robots took to the streets of Warsaw on Monday to campaign for AI regulation in front of the Polish digital affairs ministry.

The march was organised by Democratism, an initiative that, according to its website, aims to launch debate "on how AI and robotisation affect the labour market". In July, Poland President Karol Nawrocki signed into law a bill put forth by the ministry putting the EU's AI Act into practice. It created a national authority capable of enforcing existing EU regulations, which had already formally come into force.
