Call for evidence description

This call for evidence seeks practical examples of how personal and non-personal data regulation interacts with AI and other data-intensive technologies, and insights on how technological progress may change how data is used in the economy.

We are interested in where legal, technical, and governance arrangements could enable data use and re-use and manage potential harms. We want to understand what is working well, where uncertainty remains, and where stakeholders see friction or challenge now and in future. This will help us assess whether further guidance, targeted changes or more fundamental reform is needed to ensure regulatory frameworks remain fit for this technological age.
