Episode notes
EU Proposes Easier Data And AI Rules
- The European Commission proposed simplifying GDPR and AI Act rules to reduce red tape and enable wider data use.
- Allowing personal data for model training and browser-level cookie settings are the most contentious changes.
Use Browser-Level Cookie Controls
- Set cookie preferences at the browser level once browser support exists to avoid repeated pop-ups.
- Websites would then be required to respect those browser settings under the proposal.

- Expect legal challenges and political pushback that will prolong final decisions.
