Europe's privacy regulators have established new guidelines to help AI companies navigate the complexities of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). These guidelines clarify the legal bases for processing personal data, emphasizing the need for companies like Meta to ensure compliance to avoid hefty fines. The regulations highlight the challenges AI firms face, particularly if they have trained models on improperly sourced personal data.
The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) has confirmed that AI companies can claim 'legitimate interest' as a legal basis for data processing, but this comes with stringent requirements. Companies must demonstrate a clear necessity for data use, which privacy advocates argue may be difficult for general-purpose AI models like OpenAI's GPT series. The guidelines stress that companies must be proactive in ensuring their data practices align with privacy laws to foster innovation while protecting user rights.
