Summary

Key Points:

The third consultation in the series focuses on how data protection’s accuracy principle applies to the outputs of generative AI models, and the impact that accurate training data has on the output.

“In a world where misinformation is growing, we cannot allow misuse of generative AI to erode trust in the truth.
The regulator has already considered the lawfulness of web scraping to train generative AI models and examined how the purpose limitation principle should apply to generative AI models.
