🪚 Put the chainsaw away. Critique the GDPR, but aim at the right target. Its abstract, transactional, individualistic DNA is ill-suited to the collective, power-loopsided reality of workplaces where data feeds #AI systems. Here, the answer is not to prune protections; it is to reinforce them.

Blaming the #GDPR for Europe’s growth woes makes for clickbait, but it dodges the real issues. Looser data protection rules will not fix our problems. A smarter framework for digital rights could serve as a counterbalance, ensuring that #algorithmicmanagement systems operate as tools for efficiency.

#DOGE docet: deregulation might lead to chaos rather than efficiency. Robust rules are essential to guarantee clarity and transparency. Especially in the digital sector, setting clear guardrails is vital to contain both the excesses of techbroligarchs and the erraticism of their satellites-in-chief.

Is law the most appropriate tool to build trust, or should other mechanisms, such as ethics, corporate responsibility and technical safeguards, play a greater role in fostering confidence in digital ecosystems?

How can legal frameworks sustain trustworthiness in #AI-driven decision-making and digital governance? How can law not only inform automation but also ensure faith in the institutions and mechanisms it establishes?
