How deeply is AI transforming universities as organisations? What kind of universities are we going to have in the future? As universities become increasingly embedded in digital infrastructures and partnerships with AI companies, what decisions will they still be able to make independently?

The Digital Omnibus reopens central parts of the GDPR. Aida Ponce Del Castillo argues changes to foundational legal concepts have consequences that reach well beyond the regulation itself.

How the Digital Omnibus Could Unravel Europe’s Digital Safeguards

The challenge is not so much how to simplify Europe’s digital rules, but how to ensure that the foundations that make those rules enforceable remain intact.

The GDPR is one of the foundations of Europe's digital model. It protects people. Today, that foundation is at stake. Core safeguards should not be weakened, diluted, or traded away in pursuit of simplification or the promise of AI-driven innovation.
