EU Could Legimitate Use of Personal Data for AI Training

Trending Topics · 3 weeks ago · 15

The European Commission’s Digital Omnibus proposal is being negotiated in the EU Council to add a GDPR legal basis that would allow personal-data processing for the development and operation of AI systems and models. The German delegation proposes that such processing for training and technical operation be presumed a legitimate interest, and would expand compatibility for data collected for other purposes. If adopted, some GDPR data-subject obligations (including certain information and rights) could be reduced or modified for AI training, while leaving other protections with exclusions and safeguards that still face strong opposition from privacy groups.
