The Commission Nationale de l’Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL), the French data protection authority, recently published two recommendations to support innovation in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It adopts a didactic approach, issuing recommendations, best practice and explanations on how to apply the principles of the GDPR in the context of AI.

The global AI regulatory landscape is undergoing significant changes, with governments adopting divergent approaches to artificial intelligence governance. In Asia, North America, and Europe, policymakers are setting new standards that could reshape the future of AI development and deployment.

The United States’ Intelligence Community1 (IC) has released Interim Guidance about the acquisition and use of foundation AI models (FMs).  This guidance has been provided by inter-agency lawyers and concerns the application of AG guidelines and policies to the IC’s acquisition and use of FMs. As well as clearly suggesting that IC elements will use FMs for intelligence purposes, the document provides additional guidance concerning model acquisition, modification, augmentation, prompts and outputs.

The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has published its final response to the public consultation on the application of UK data protection law to generative AI (GAI). The response marks the culmination of an extensive consultation process aimed at clarifying key data protection principles in the context of generative AI systems.
