The European Commission’s latest Digital Omnibus package introduces a significant and much-debated idea: allowing AI training based on legitimate interest, under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, accompanied by a new Article 88c. The proposal formalises something many expected — that training AI systems or AI models on personal data may rely on legitimate interest as a legal basis.
As of today, the new Italian online gambling licence regime is officially in force, marking the most significant regulatory shift in Italy’s online gambling sector in over a decade. This reform does not simply renew the market: it reshapes the entire structure, raises compliance expectations, and redefines how operators, new entrants and suppliers can access and compete within Italy’s regulated environment.
The European Commission’s proposal to codify legitimate interest as a legal basis for AI training marks the most significant reform to the GDPR since its adoption. By explicitly recognizing legitimate interest as legal basis for AI training, the Commission aims to reconcile data protection with the realities of modern artificial intelligence.
