EU Commission and U.K. ICO both take steps to address the developments and challenges around data and AI

The EU Commission and U.K. Information Commissioner’s Office both took steps to address the developments and challenges around data and artificial intelligence.  The Commission released its European strategy for data document.  The Document outlines a strategy for policy measures and investments to enable the data economy for the coming five years. The data strategy is presented at the same time as the Commission’s Communication on “Shaping Europe’s digital future” and a White Paper on artificial intelligence that indicates how the Commission will support and promote the development and uptake of artificial intelligence across the EU.  On the basis of this strategy, the Commission launched a comprehensive consultation on the specific measures that could be taken to keep the EU at the forefront of the data-agile economy, while respecting and promoting the fundamental values that are the foundation of European societies
