The other day, @noybeu published a great video explaining whats is wrong with the Digital Omnibus, a bundle of laws the EU commission wants to pass quickly in order to weaken the data protection standards the EU previously established in the GDPR.
My favourite quote is what @maxschrems says around minute 42:
When we talk about the AI discussion I usually kind of allude that originally when we came up with all those principles in the eighties in the Council of Europe, the idea was always that we are going to have this big algorithm that is going to suck up all your data, come to weird conclusions, and therefore we need transparency, rectification – we need all these things. And now, exactly at the time when this is the reality then suddenly the argument is we have to get rid of all these rules that were made for exactly this situation. So all this icks me a bit on all of that.
If you read it you sometimes get the idea that the commission wants to get to the AI promised land. And to get there we need to cut right through the whole GDPR.
