February 19, the European Commission released its EU data strategy. As the IAPP's Riyan Chiavetta reported, the document outlines the commission's five-year plan for "policy measures and investments to enable the data economy." The commission based its strategy on four pillars, one of which is a cross-sectoral governance framework for data access and use. In conjunction with the release data strategy, the commission also published a white paper on AI. In this episode of The Privacy Advisor Podcast, the Future of Privacy Forum's Gabriela Zanfir-Fortuna, who's expertise on moves by the European government is exceptionally informed, discusses the new releases and whether they'll have a meaningful impact or if they're lofty, abstract goals.
