As AI accelerates, Europe's flagship privacy principles are under attack, warns EDPS

The European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) has raised concerns that the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) may face threats from industry lobbyists. The GDPR's principles of minimization and purpose limitation could be questioned and potentially watered down in the coming years. The outcome of the upcoming elections to the European Parliament and potential changes in the composition of the EU's executive could impact data protection laws. Industry lobbying and criticism from the scientific community regarding the purpose limitation principle are driving concerns about the GDPR's effectiveness. The rise of generative AI tools and challenges in AI and neuroscience are also key factors for data protection regulators. The potential weakening of data protection laws could have long-term consequences for citizens' privacy and human rights.
