Nobody wants their personal data and chats to be used for AI Training. What are the Data Protection Authorities doing about this ? It could be so simple, just order AI programmes trained with personal data obtained illegally to be deleted. www.politico.eu/pro/german-u... #AI #GDPR #KI #DSGVO

Instead of giving in, the Commission must ensure that the Code reflects the intent of the AI Act and safeguards public interest, write Nemitz and Oueslati.
