"The European Union wants to amend the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) to stimulate AI development. A package of changes is intended to give companies more leeway to process sensitive data, while American pressure to simplify digital regulations is increasing. The GDPR is considered the gold standard for data privacy worldwide, but investors and American tech giants have been complaining about its restrictions for years. The regulations are said to undermine Europe's competitive position in AI."
"The proposed changes will enable processing sensitive data, such as political or religious beliefs, ethnicity, and health information, for training AI models. There will also be a new definition of what constitutes personal data. Pseudonymized data may no longer be covered by the current GDPR protection. In addition, the Commission wants to tackle the cookie consent framework. This will give websites and apps more legal leeway to 'track' users without requiring explicit consent."
The European Union plans to amend the GDPR to stimulate AI development by giving companies more leeway to process sensitive categories such as political and religious beliefs, ethnicity, and health information for AI training. Pseudonymized data may be removed from GDPR protection and a new definition of personal data is proposed. The Commission also seeks to reform cookie consent to allow more user tracking without explicit consent. US pressure to simplify digital rules and competition with China are driving changes. Major tech firms warn that strict regulation could hinder innovation. The package will be announced November 19 and is causing heated debate.
