PD's head of delegation to the European Parliament Brando Benifei has won the award for best MEP of the legislature in tandem with Romanian MEP Dragos Tudorache, for their work as co-negotiators of the world's first law to regulate Artificial Intelligence, the European AI Act. "I am honored by this recognition after many years of work on such an important issue," commented the Italian. With this law, Europe tries to chart a clear direction to protect and balance rights, democracy and innovation, countering discrimination and creating opportunities. But as I said in my speech accepting the award, this recognition must apply to the great work of the entire European Parliament to give strength to the Union in very difficult years. I am thinking above all of the extraordinary commitment to solidarity carried out during the COVID-19 crisis by the late President Sassoli”.
