Europe Is Ready to Dilute Its Tough Rules on Privacy. You Can Blame AI for That
The European Commission aims to ease GDPR restrictions and delay high-risk AI rules by up to 16 months to enhance data use and boost European AI innovation, officials said.
- On Wednesday, November 19, the European Commission presented sweeping plans to cut red tape and spur made-in-Europe AI innovation, drawing sharp criticism from consumer advocacy groups.
- Facing competition from the United States and China, the Commission says the package aims to help the EU avoid missing out on the AI revolution, shaped by pressure from Germany and industry lobby groups.
- The package seeks to reshape GDPR by narrowing personal data to cases where a data holder can identify individuals and allowing some uses without prior consent.
- The Commission proposes postponing high-risk AI obligations by up to 16 months to develop technical standards, triggering months of negotiation with the European Parliament and Council amid rights protection calls.
- The Commission pairs data-liberation plans with protections, proposing a Data Union Strategy to free non-personal data and anti-leakage rules, though privacy experts and activists warn of eroding safeguards.
