Parliamentary proposal for an artificial intelligence committee rejected

During yesterday's plenary session of the House of Representatives, the party Direct Democracy proposed the establishment of an ad hoc committee on artificial intelligence. The proposal was not approved, leading MP Diana Constantinidou to protest the decision, claiming the initiative had been blocked. House Speaker Annita Demetriou responded that while the proposal was not approved at this stage, the matter remains open for future reconsideration. Reports indicate that the committee's formation was part of a political agreement regarding Direct Democracy's support for Annita Demetriou's election as Speaker of the House. However, the plan failed to move forward following specific objections raised within the Selection Committee. The House President confirmed that the rejection is not permanent, suggesting the proposal may be revisited later. No further details on the nature of the objections were disclosed during the session.
