The United States is no stranger to technological arms races, having spent much of the Cold War in a two-pronged one-upmanship effort against the Soviet Union to build bigger rockets and land those on the moon. Its rivalry now is with China, and the latest battleground is artificial intelligence.

Launched in March 2023, the EDPS is taking part in the European Data Protection Board’s (EDPB) Coordinated Enforcement Action on the role and tasks of data protection officers, alongside 26 data protection authorities of the EU and the European Economic Area (EU/EEA).
Wojciech Wiewiórowski, EDPS, said: “The role of a data protection officer is crucial in ensuring that data protection law is applied within entities in the EU, and within EU institutions, bodies, offices and agencies (EUIs). By bridging the gap between EU data protection law and its practical application, data protection officers help to promote the effective protection of individuals’ privacy and personal data. Cooperating with the EDPB aims to facilitate the consistent and coherent application of data protection law, its principles, and good practices across the EU/EEA.”

It’s five months since Elon Musk overpaid for a relatively small microblogging platform called, Twitter. The platform had punched about its weight in pure user numbers thanks to an unrivalled ability to both distribute real-time information and make expertise available. Combine these elements with your own critical faculty — to weed out the usual spam and bs — and it could feel like the only place online that really mattered.

A new law is threatening the privacy of the European Union’s 447 million inhabitants.
The CSA Regulation, proposed by European Commissioner Ylva Johansson, could undermine the trust we have in secure and confidential processes like sending work emails, communicating with our doctors, and even governments protecting intelligence.
The regulation wants to routinely scan our private communications online using AI tools to look for the spread of child sexual abuse material.
It does not matter if you are suspected of a crime or not, this scanning could include everyone — hundreds of millions of law-abiding European residents.

Countries around the world are examining whether they should offer central bank money to the public not only as banknotes and coins, but also in digital form.
The fact that the majority of central banks around the world have already started exploring the possibility of launching a state-owned digital currency comes as a response to the increased adoption of digital, contactless payments, cryptocurrencies and e-commerce, further accelerated by Covid-19, b and also due to the possibilities offered by these digital currencies as a more flexible monetary tool compared to the existing non-digital currency.
Privacy, the protection of personal data and security are amongst the most important requirements, which impact the core design choices to be taken, as well as expected citizens’ trust and acceptance.

AI systems with human-competitive intelligence can pose profound risks to society and humanity, as shown by extensive research[1] and acknowledged by top AI labs.[2] As stated in the widely-endorsed Asilomar AI Principles, Advanced AI could represent a profound change in the history of life on Earth, and should be planned for and managed with commensurate care and resources. Unfortunately, this level of planning and management is not happening, even though recent months have seen AI labs locked in an out-of-control race to develop and deploy ever more powerful digital minds that no one – not even their creators – can understand, predict, or reliably control.

Solo una minoranza (15%) delle aziende soddisfa attualmente i criteri per essere definite "Data Leader". Il dato emerge da un report commissionato da Lenovo, ‘Data for Humanity’, realizzato attraverso interviste a executive di aziende con un fatturato pari o superiore a 500 milioni di dollari presenti in cinque paesi diversi, che ha analizzato come le più grandi imprese globali valorizzino i dati e quali siano le opportunità di utilizzarli per raggiungere i propri obiettivi e ottenere benefici in un contesto di mercato estremamente competitivo. I Data Leader sono un gruppo d'élite di aziende che hanno messo in atto strategie di successo basate su tre pilastri fondamentali: Data Management, Data Analytics e Data Security, che consentono un utilizzo più efficace dei dati in tutte le funzioni aziendali. Queste imprese incentrate sui dati hanno conseguentemente riscontrato numerosi di vantaggi e negli ultimi 12 mesi hanno aumentato con successo i ricavi (78%) e migliorato la soddisfazione dei clienti (70%). I Data Leader hanno anche molte meno probabilità di subire gli effetti di una scarsa produttività dei dipendenti (13%) e di una riduzione del tasso di innovazione (10%).

EU lawmakers in the leading European Parliament committees are voting on the political agreement on the AI Act on 26 April, with many questions being settled but a few critical issues still open.
The AI Act is a landmark EU proposal to regulate Artificial Intelligence based on its potential to cause harm. The European Parliament is set to finalise its position on the file by May to quickly enter into negotiations with the EU Council and Commission in the so-called trilogues.
The discussions on the AI regulation have taken longer than expected due to political infighting in the Parliament, which resulted in a co-lead of the Internal Market and Consumer Protection committee (IMCO) and Civil Liberties committee (LIBE).

Two days after an open letter called for a moratorium on more powerful generative AI models being developed so regulators can catch up with the likes of ChatGPT, Italy’s data protection authority has just put out a timely reminder that some countries do have laws that already apply to cutting edge AI — by ordering OpenAI to stop processing people’s data locally with immediate effect.
The Italian DPA said it’s concerned ChatGPT’s maker is breaching the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Specifically, the Guarante said it has issued the order to block ChatGPT over concerns OpenAI has unlawfully processed people’s data — and also over the lack of any system to prevent minors from accessing the tech.

L’Autorità ha contestualmente aperto un’istruttoria.
ChatGPT, il più noto tra i software di intelligenza artificiale relazionale in grado di simulare ed elaborare le conversazioni umane, lo scorso 20 marzo aveva subito una perdita di dati (data breach) riguardanti le conversazioni degli utenti e le informazioni relative al pagamento degli abbonati al servizio a pagamento.

The EU lawmaker spearheading the Cyber Resilience Act has produced a draft report pitching the removal of time obligations for products’ lifetime and limiting the scope of reporting to significant incidents, among other significant changes.
The Cyber Resilience Act is a draft law introducing cybersecurity requirements for Internet of Things products (IoT), connected devices that can exchange data. The European Parliament’s rapporteur Nicola Danti circulated his draft report, seen by EURACTIV, with the other political groups on Friday (31 March).
While Danti maintained the overall scope of the regulation, he simplified the language, stating that the requirements apply to all connected devices “that can have a direct or indirect data connection to a device or network”.

The UK’s data protection authority sanctioned TikTok £12.7 million for multiple data law violations, including the unlawful use of children’s personal data.
The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) announced the fine on Tuesday (4 April) after concluding an investigation into potential breaches by the company of the UK’s data protection regime.
The inquiry found multiple infractions by the video-sharing platform, including some related to processing data belonging to children under the age of 13. An additional charge set out in the ICO’s prior notice of intent was dropped, however, reducing the original fine from £27 million to nearly £13 million.

TikTok has been issued with a fine of £12.7 million (~$15.7M) for breaching UK data protection law, including rules intended to protect children.
The privacy watchdog, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), announced today that it found the video sharing site “did not do enough” to check who was using their platform and failed to take sufficient action to remove the underage children that were using the service.
Per the ICO, TikTok had an estimated 1.4 million underage UK users during a two-year period, between May 2018 and July 2020 — which its investigation was focused on — contrary to terms of service stating users must be 13 or older.

Il social network cinese TikTok è stato multato per 12,7 milioni di sterline (14,5 milioni di euro) dall’Ico, l’Information Commissioner’s Office, l’autorità britannica di regolamentazione dei dati digitali, per uso “illegale” dei dati personali dei bambini. In particolare, l’Ico stima che TikTok, soggetta recentemente a restrizioni in diversi Paesi, abbia consentito a fino a 1,4 milioni di minori sotto i 13 anni nel Regno Unito di aprire un account sulla sua piattaforma nel 2020, contrariamente a quanto previsto dalle sue regole ufficiali. Inoltre l’Authority contesta l’utilizzo dei dati senza il consenso dei genitori.

EDPB adopted letter to EU institutions on data sharing for AML/CFT purposes

During its latest plenary, the EDPB adopted a letter to the European Parliament, the Council and the European Commission on data sharing for anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) purposes. This letter highlights the significant risks to privacy and data protection posed by some amendments introduced by the Council, which would allow private entities, under certain conditions, to share personal data between each other for AML/CFT purposes concerning “suspicious transactions” and data collected in the course of performing customer due diligence obligations.
The EDPB expresses serious concerns about the lawfulness, necessity and proportionality of these provisions, which could result in very large-scale processing by private entities. The EDPB considers that the amendments do not adequately specify the conditions under which such processing is justified, and that they do not provide sufficient safeguards, given that such processing could have a significant impact on individuals, such as blacklisting and exclusion from financial services. The EDPB therefore recommends the co-legislators not to include these provisions in the final text of the Proposal.

The EDPB considers that the amendments do not adequately specify the conditions under which such processing is justified, and that they do not provide sufficient safeguards, given that such processing could have a significant impact on individuals, such as blacklisting and exclusion from financial services. The EDPB therefore recommends the co-legislators not to include these provisions in the final text of the Proposal.
