Rethinking AI data: From scraping to sustainable and ethical data sharing

The OECD's VIADUCT initiative examines growing tensions in AI training data acquisition, questioning the sustainability of web scraping and exploring alternatives centered on ethical data-sharing frameworks that account for copyright, GDPR compliance, and equitable access.

Why this matters: A shift away from indiscriminate scraping toward consent-based data-sharing models could strengthen individuals' control over how their personal content and information fuels AI systems — a meaningful development for data rights under frameworks like GDPR.

Automated decisions can streamline the hiring process – with the right safeguards in place

The UK's Information Commissioner's Office has issued guidance acknowledging that automated decision-making tools can legitimately be used in hiring, provided appropriate safeguards are implemented by employers.

Why this matters: Automated hiring systems can embed bias and deny individuals meaningful human review of consequential decisions about their livelihoods — making robust safeguards, transparency requirements, and the right to contest outcomes essential protections for job seekers.

To be truly participative, stakeholder involvement should follow an AI system’s entire lifecycle

An OECD analysis argues that meaningful participation in AI governance requires more than one-time consultation, calling instead for community authority and structured oversight spanning an AI system's full lifecycle — from design through deployment and decommissioning.

Why this matters: Without sustained stakeholder involvement, affected communities — including those most vulnerable to algorithmic harm or surveillance — have little recourse once systems are live, leaving rights protections dependent on developer goodwill rather than accountable governance structures.

MPs urge UK government to halt contract giving Palantir FCA data access

Awarding US spy-tech company deal involving sensitive financial data is ‘huge error of judgment’, Liberal Democrats say MPs have urged the government to halt its latest contract with Palantir after the Guardian revealed that the US spy-tech company is to gain access to a trove of highly sensitive UK financial regulation data. The Financial Conduct Authority, the watchdog for thousands of financial bodies from banks to hedge funds, has hired Palantir to apply its AI systems to two years’ worth of internal intelligence data to help it tackle financial crime.

High-Level Debate: “From Omnibus to Opportunity: Driving Data Protection and Innovation”

On June 8, 2026, the EDPS, Germany's BfDI, and Bavaria's BayLfD will co-host a high-level debate examining the European Commission's Omnibus proposals and their potential effects on GDPR and the wider EU digital regulatory landscape.

Why this matters: Any weakening or restructuring of GDPR through Omnibus reforms could erode baseline privacy protections for hundreds of millions of people; this convening of senior data protection authorities signals institutional concern worth watching closely.

Why AI Sandboxes matter for responsible innovation and public trust

The OECD has published analysis on AI regulatory sandboxes, examining how controlled testing environments can allow governments and developers to experiment with AI systems under regulatory supervision while managing risk and building compliance frameworks.

Why this matters: How sandboxes are designed determines whether they meaningfully protect individuals from harmful AI deployments or primarily shield developers from accountability — the governance structures governing data use and oversight during testing periods carry real civil liberties implications.
