Prime Minister Boris Johnson has announced plans to bring forward the Brexit Freedoms Bill, including reshaped practices and standards around data protection and artificial intelligence. The goal of the provisions on data protection and AI will be "faster, more agile" with digital regulations while "creating a more proportionate and less burdensome data rights regime compared to the EU General Data Protection Regulation." An article in The Register regarded the announcement as a rehash of already slated proposals. It also warned about the need to "walk the line between appearing to be independent of EU regulation and the need to be in line with GDPR" as failing to do so would put the adequacy ruling at risk. The plans are already coming under fire from UK devolved administrations(£) as reported in the Financial Times.
