The report argues that the GDPR, while providing a unified privacy framework, restricts AI development in the EU, placing European firms at a competitive disadvantage. The digital economy has evolved into an “algorithmic economy,” where AI is crucial for success. The GDPR's data processing regulations, particularly consent requirements and limitations on automated decision-making, hinder the ability to leverage AI. To remain competitive, the EU must reform the GDPR to balance regulation with the promotion of AI, allowing for data repurposing with minimal risk, not penalizing automated decision-making, and making fines proportional to harm.
