In a leaked document, the Irish Presidency proposes to EU Member States that the interest of OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta and SpaceX to make profits should take precedence over the fundamental right to data protection. Use of personal data “in the context of AI” should automatically be lawful. There seems to be wide informal agreement by many Member States. 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 these proposals, the profits of AI companies would 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 warn about the enormous risks associated with their own products.

    I just read this somewhere else and wanted to post it, too. And now I am surprised by the lack of comments (and outrage).

    Just implement AI and that’s the UNO reverse card against data protection and privacy laws?

      What did you expect people to say? Here in Germany, at least, this lines up with what any reasonable person would expect from our government parties. It’s not like people didn’t know what they were voting for.

        I don’t have much trust in the current government to make good decisions for the majority of the people in various areas. That much is true. But I don’t have to like it and I can be vocal about it. Especially in an online forum.

        Usually people in the fediverse are fairly outspoken on certain topics. That’s what I meant to say.
