On Wednesday, EU Member States approved a change to the GDPR that would put the profit-making interests of OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta and SpaceX over European’s fundamental right to data protection. According to the approved text, processing personal data “in the context of AI” should automatically be lawful. In particular, Big Tech would be able to use all personal data collected over the past decades with virtually no restrictions, as long as this happens “in the context” of AI. Schrems: “Under the agreed text, the profits of AI companies would typically trump European’s fundamental right to privacy. This is nothing but a digital expropriation of Europeans.” All this is happening despite the key figures of AI corporations actively warning about the enormous risks associated with their own products.
Sovereignty ? Anyone ?
The EU construction is a joke, a more efficient way to serve the globalist elites and mega-corpos and circumvent scrutiny and accountability by national parliaments.
Which sovereign countries, do you think, would have implemented something like the GDPR if the EU Parliament did not exist?
Assuming you see the GDPR - the right to control personal information - as a good thing, as I do.
