Navigating the Digital Omnibus: A Call for Data Protection in AI
The European Union’s proposed “Digital Omnibus” package is stirring significant controversy. While aimed at reducing bureaucracy, it raises critical concerns about consumer data privacy. Legal experts from Spirit Legal warn that the draft undermines GDPR principles and could jeopardize the privacy of millions.
Key Concerns:
- Article 88c: Facilitates broad data processing under the guise of AI, potentially allowing companies to bypass strict data rules.
- Sensitive Data: The proposal favors mass data extraction, jeopardizing the principles of minimization and potentially empowering Big Tech corporations.
- Lack of Enforcement: Shifting protective mechanisms to non-binding recitals may hinder effective oversight and oversight authorities’ ability to sanction violations.
Urgent Proposals:
- Implement strict legal bases for AI training.
- Require explicit parental consent for minors’ data use.
- Enable individuals to prohibit further use of their data.
With trust as a critical economic factor, it’s essential to advocate for clear, protective legislation.
