Commission proposal

Trustworthy AI is key in providing for economic growth and supporting innovation with socially beneficial outcomes. The development and use of AI systems and the underlying models such as large language models and generative video models rely on data, including personal data, in various phases in the AI lifecycle, such as the training, testing and validation phase and may in some instances be retained in the AI system or the AI model. The processing of personal data in this context may therefore be carried out for purposes of a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, where appropriate. This does not affect the obligation of the controller to ensure that the development or use (deployment) of AI in a specific context or for specific purposes complies with other Union or national law, or to ensure compliance where its use is explicitly prohibited by law. It also does not affect its obligation to ensure that all other conditions of Article 6(1)(f) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 as well as all other requirements and principles of that Regulation are met.

(30) Trustworthy AI is key in providing for economic growth and supporting innovation with socially beneficial outcomes. The development and use of AI systems and the underlying models such as large language models and generative video models rely on data, including personal data, in various phases in the AI lifecycle, such as the training, testing and validation phase and personal data may, in some instances, be retainedextracted infrom, regurgitated by, or inferred from the AI system or the AI model. The processing of personal data in this context may therefore be carried out for purposes of a legitimate interest pursued by the controller or by a third party, including the provider of a pre-trained model, within the meaning of Article 6 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, where appropriate. This does not affect the obligation of the controller to ensure that the development or use (deployment) of AI in a specific context or for specific purposes complies with other Union or national law, or to ensure compliance where its use is explicitly prohibited by law. Such processing shall not benefit from any presumption of lawfulness and remains subject to a balancing test carried out on a case-by-case basis. The fact that a system or model is presented as producing anonymised data shall not, in itself, exclude the application of that Regulation where personal data may be extracted from, or inferred from, that system or model by means reasonably likely to be used. It also does not affect its obligation to ensure that all other conditions of Article 6(1)(f) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 as well as all other requirements and principles of that Regulation are met.
Justification

Two corrections. First, the notions of 'retained', 'memorised' or 'stored' data mischaracterise how AI models function: what matters legally is whether personal data can be extracted from, regurgitated by, or inferred from the model. Second, the reference to third-party legitimate interest, which has existed since 1995, secures the position of downstream SMEs deploying pre-trained models, while the explicit refusal of any presumption of lawfulness preserves the in concreto balancing required by the Court (C-252/21).

(30) Trustworthy AI is key in providing for economic growth and supporting innovation with socially beneficial outcomes. Europe faces a significant gap in AI development and deployment compared to global leaders, particularly the United States and China, which risks undermining the Union’s long-term competitiveness and innovative capacity. The development and use of AI systems and the underlying models such as large language models and generative video models rely on data, including personal data, in various phases in the AI lifecycle, such as the training, testing and validation phase and may in some instances be retained in the AI system or the AI model. High-quality European data is therefore essential to close this gap, strengthen the Union’s innovative capacity, enable the training of competitive AI models by European businesses and researchers, and reduce dependence on non-European data and technology providers. The processing of personal data in this context may therefore be carried out for purposes of a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, where appropriate. This does not affect the obligation of the controller to ensure that the development or use (deployment) of AI in a specific context or for specific purposes complies with other Union or national law, or to ensure compliance where its use is explicitly prohibited by law. It also does not affect its obligation to ensure that all other conditions of Article 6(1)(f) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 as well as all other requirements and principles of that Regulation are met.

This Regulation shall not apply to AI systems developed exclusively by competent authorities within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/680 for their own operational use in the prevention, detection, investigation or prosecution of criminal offences, provided that such systems are not placed on the market or made available to third parties. The processing of personal data in this context may therefore be carried out for purposes of a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, where appropriate. This does not affect the obligation of the controller to ensure that the development or use (deployment) of AI in a specific context or for specific purposes complies with other Union or national law, or to ensure compliance where its use is explicitly prohibited by law.

Justification

This amendment aligns Recital (30) with Article 88c by clarifying that legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR may be pursued by both controllers and third parties. It removes ambiguity for AI supply chains, ensures consistency between the recital and the operative text, and replaces the broad reference to "Article 6" with the more precise reference to Article 6(1)(f), improving legal certainty and coherent interpretation.
