Summary:

The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) has launched a consultation series on generative Artificial Intelligence (AI), exploring how data protection law applies to its development and use. The first consultation focuses on determining when it is lawful to train generative AI models on personal data scraped from the web. The ICO is seeking input from stakeholders, including developers, users, legal advisors, and civil society groups, and the consultation is open until March 2024. Future consultations will address issues such as the accuracy of generative AI outputs.
