This consultation response confirms our current position and clarifies our regulatory expectations on generative AI. Those interested in data protection compliance still need to consult our core guidance on AI and data protection. Following the changes to data protection law through the Data (Use and Access) Bill, we will update and consult on our guidance to reflect the changes and include generative AI.
Our final positions will also align with our forthcoming joint statement on foundation models with the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA). This statement will touch on the interplay of data protection and competition and consumer law in this complex area.
