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.
Fuck no. The fact that AI needs special carve-outs from existing laws just goes to show how fucking stupid and gross it is.
