Data is increasingly used as an asset, from which value can be extracted, which has led many to lament about the misalignment of the law with data-intensive technological and business developments, such as AI. With the exception of personal data protection, the legal framework applicable to data exchange and processing for AI, has indeed been mainly consisting in legacy frameworks dealing with data only indirectly. This situation has been changing fast in recent times, with the EU legislator being extremely active to structure data exchange institutions and to apportion the (economic) value of data. There is however no (or hardly any) ‘AI data’-specific data regulation. On the one hand, many sectoral data sharing legal regimes have been adopted while, on the other, the Data Governance Act and Data Act proposals are designed to provide a horizontal data-related framework. In her talk, Charlotte will outline the legal framework applicable to data exchange and processing at EU level, by providing a comprehensive and synthetic picture of the legislation (yet partly in the making), focused on how it applies to AI development and use. She will also identify the main (expected) trends in EU data law.
