The role of Artificial Intelligence in open data: Legal and policy challenges
Our AI report explores how data ecosystems are affected
Artificial intelligence (AI) significantly impacts businesses, governments, and the global economy, affecting many aspects of daily life. Our report, ‘The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Processing and Generating New Data’ investigates what the main legal and policy challenges are when it comes to the use of AI and provides a clear overview of these challenges. This insightful piece helps readers understand the context of how AI uses open data and what the limitations of this use are.
AI systems used by many, such as the generative AI platforms Microsoft Copilot and ChatGPT, can be trained using data. However, the report sheds light on not only the benefits, but also the more demanding side of AI. From both the input and output sides of AI systems, questions come to mind on topics like intellectual rights and privacy issues.
These questions around fundamental and legal rights are explained in the report, along with recommendations for future changes for the European Union. In May 2024, the Council approved a law for safe and trustworthy AI systems, namely the EU AI Act. Our report reviews the implementation of the AI Act and gives information on what this means in practice for open data ecosystems.
Whether you are interested in the legal challenges of AI or want to learn new insights on the EU AI Act and the EU’s agenda on this topic, our report provides a deepened insight.
