Expert: EU Commission wants an "unlimited special legal zone" for AI (www.heise.de)

At the center of the criticism is the planned Article 88c, which provides for special relief for data processing in the context of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The experts Peter Hense and David Wagner warn here of an "unlimited special legal zone". Since the term "AI system" is extremely broadly defined, companies could in the future declare almost any automated data processing as AI-relevant in order to evade strict data protection rules. This would replace the technology-neutral logic of the GDPR with a technology-specific privilege that primarily benefits service providers.

Sigh… why have laws at all? Chat Control kind of encroaches on indiscriminate surveillance, which the EU courts previously have told member states is against the EU charter. Now, nothing. GDPR, DMA was presented as hardening against the aggressive big tech corporations. Apparently, that doesn’t matter.

Sigh… apologies, politics and the EU pisses me of lately.
