Legitimate Interest to Save AI? Europe’s Bold GDPR Reform
Description
The European Commission is preparing to codify “legitimate interest” as a lawful basis for AI training — a reform that could become the most significant update to the GDPR since 2018.
In this episode, Giulio Coraggio, Technology & Data Lawyer at DLA Piper, explores how this proposal could reshape the legal foundations of AI development, bridging the gap between data protection and innovation.
🎙️ We’ll discuss:
•Why this reform matters for AI developers and data controllers;
•How it aligns with the EU AI Act;
•The safeguards that will still protect personal data;
•And whether this move truly strikes the balance between fundamental rights and technological progress.
