Hello all, and happy Thursday!
In case you missed it, last week, the European Parliament’s voted to approve its draft rules for the AI Act. Ever since ChatGPT exploded in popularity at the start of 2023, it seems like we’ve had a story about AI in each newsletter, and for good reason; the overlap between AI and data privacy is massive. AI needs access to data to function, which raises a lot of questions:
It’s fitting, then, that the same region that pioneered data privacy regulation with the GDPR is gearing up to pioneer AI regulation. Nowadays, the impact of the GDPR is felt far and wide, but before 2018, not many could have guessed at the proliferation of data privacy laws across the globe. One has to wonder if within ten years or so, we’ll be contending with multiple AI laws across the globe, each with their own idiosyncrasies.
It’s likely that the act won’t come into force for several years as it is revised and re-revised to contend with the rapid advancements in AI technology. Keeping a close eye on its development will likely bear fruit—not only will AI impact society drastically, but the regulations around AI and AI training data may be equally impactful.
Best,
Arlo

U.S. Senator Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Sen. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo, have introduced legislation to regulate when and how data brokers can sell U.S. citizens’ data to entities in other nation.

With the European Parliament’s vote to approve its draft rules for the AI Act, many are curious about the specifics of what will likely be the global standard for AI regulation. Though the final rules will likely be vastly different from the current draft rules, there are some themes that will likely persist.
The UK and U.S. have reached to a commitment in principle on a UK-U.S. data bridge, which will protect data transfers between the two countries. Specifically, UK and U.S. stakeholders have agreed to key pillars of the data bridge, how it will interact with other data transfer mechanisms, what technical work still needs to be done, what the timeline for the data bridge looks like, and more.
