This bill aims to establish a legal regime applicable to the use of personal data of citizens by natural or legal persons that develop, operate, implement, or commercialise AI systems. It includes transparency obligations requiring operators to disclose system purpose, logic, automation level, use of personal data, and to enable the exercise of data subject rights. It also requires risk evaluations based on low, medium or high risk classification tiers, with mandatory registration in the National Registry of Artificial Intelligence Systems for medium- and high-risk systems. The authority is empowered to conduct audits, require documentation, and suspend systems posing serious risks, with sanctions ranging from warnings to suspension, prohibition of use, and fines proportionate to turnover, benefits, number of affected individuals, and intent or negligence.

Global data protection authorities issue statement on data scraping, covering AI

A coalition of 17 global data protection authorities have issued a follow-up statement on data scraping (Australia, Canada, United Kingdom, Hong Kong, China, Switzerland, Norway, New Zealand, Colombia, Jersey, Morocco, Argentina, Mexico, Guernsey, Spain, Monaco, Israel). The statement builds on a joint statement by the authorities in August 2023 urging social media platforms to implement safeguards against data scraping. This follow-up statement specifies that (1) organizations should deploy a combination of safeguarding measures against unlawful scraping, regularly reviewing and updating them to keep pace with advances in scraping techniques and technologies; (2) while AI is used by some sophisticated data scrapers to evade detection, it can also enhance protections against unlawful scraping; (3) the obligation to protect against unlawful scraping applies to both large corporations and SMEs, with lower-cost measures available for SMEs with assistance from service providers; (4) contractual terms authorizing scraping of personal data cannot alone render such scraping lawful, but they can serve as an important safeguard; (5) organizations permitting scraping of personal data must ensure they have a lawful basis, are transparent, and obtain consent where required by law; (6) organizations should implement adequate measures, including contractual terms and monitoring, to ensure compliance with data protection and privacy laws; (7) providing access via an API can allow organizations greater control over data and facilitate detection and mitigation of unauthorized scraping; and (8) organizations using scraped data or their own platform data to train AI must comply with data protection, privacy laws, and AI-specific laws, following available regulatory guidelines.
