Digital mark and data protection guidelines 'silence' on AI training prevents effective competition, experts warn
  • Experts have raised concerns that a lack of clarity in new digital mark and data protection guidelines could hinder fair competition in artificial intelligence (AI) development, allowing dominant firms to further entrench their positions. This 'silence' on AI training is seen as a significant barrier to innovation.
  • The implications of these guidelines are critical for maintaining a competitive landscape in AI, as they may disproportionately benefit established players while stifling emerging competitors. This could lead to a stagnation in technological advancements and limit consumer choices.
  • The ongoing debate around AI governance highlights the need for comprehensive frameworks that not only protect data but also foster innovation. Experts emphasize that without diverse perspectives and robust evaluations, the AI sector may face challenges in trustworthiness and accountability, further complicating the competitive dynamics in the industry.
