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.
So much for „laws that apply in the real world apply in the digital world too.“ They‘re proposing a lawless playground for corporations that will definitely get abused to damage industries, people, and attack democracy as a whole.
