- Data Use and Access Bill will fail to protect public from AI harms | Open Rights Group
on September 2, 2025 at 7:40 pm“The Data Use and Access Bill will fail to protect the public from harmful uses of artificial intelligence, say digital rights campaigners, Open Rights Group. The Bill, published today, rehashes many of the provisions in the previous government’s controversial Data Protection and Digital Information Bill, which was ditched in wash-up prior to the General Election. Annotations: The Data Use and Access Bill weakens our rights and gives companies and organisations more powers to use automated decisions. This is of particular concern in areas of policing, welfare and immigration where life-changing decisions could be made without human review. Tags: technology regulation duab duaa openrightsgroup
- European Commission should rescind UK data adequacy | Computer Weeklyon June 16, 2025 at 2:46 pm
Seven civil society organisations are calling on European Commissioner Michael McGrath to rescind the UK’s data adequacy status, citing major concerns around the country’s ongoing erosion of privacy and data rights. Annotations: Commenting on the DUAB proposals – which “would represent a systematic weakening of privacy and data protection safeguards” – the civil society groups noted the bill will diminish the right not to be subject to automated decision-making; delegate “extensive” legislative power to UK ministers that would allow them to circumvent Parliamentary scrutiny when making decisions around the legality of data processing or transfers; and otherwise grant government and law enforcement agencies “expansive access” to personal data.
