EU’s Major Course Change Regulating Big Tech

EU Reversing Course on Tech Regulation

After aggressively regulating the technology industry for over a decade, the European Union is moving to loosen its landmark digital privacy and artificial intelligence rules, in response to growing concern that European tech companies are falling behind those in the United States and China. The potential changes include scaling back the General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR, to make it easier for companies to access data for developing AI and delaying implementation of key parts of the AI Act until at least 2027. Approval of the changes by the European Parliament and a majority of EU countries, however, could take months. (NEW YORK TIMES)
