The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) is preparing an opinion on AI models, following a request from the Irish Data Protection Commission. This opinion is expected to cover how personal data is processed at various stages of the training and operation of an AI model and what legal basis can be relied on for that processing.
PI submitted its views to the Board ahead of it releasing its opinion.
From the Amazon rainforests to subsaharan Africa, tech companies seek to expand their dominance by investing in connectivity infrastructure. While this has certainly brought some benefits, it also raises concerns about big tech's expansion into new territories.
PI responded to the ICO consultation on engineering individual rights into generative AI models such as LLMs. Our overall assessment is that the major generative AI models are unable to uphold individuals’ rights under the UK GDPR. New technologies designed in a way that cannot uphold people’s rights cannot be permitted just for the sake of innovation.
