EU DPAs reject key proposals in Digital Omnibus GDPR changes

The European Data Protection Board and the European Data Protection Supervisor issued a joint opinion rejecting the Commission's proposal to narrow the definition of personal data and to restrict the right of access. They also raised concerns about the unclear legal basis for AI training under the draft Article 88c. The opinion signals strong opposition to the Digital Omnibus changes to the GDPR and ePrivacy Directive.

Why it matters: The joint opinion highlights major EU regulator resistance to the Commission's Digital Omnibus, affecting AI training and data subject rights.
