The new bill gives commercial organisations the same freedoms as academics for any data processing for research \u201cthat can reasonably be described as scientific.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This could create big opportunities for businesses building AI with data collection.

Some privacy experts are also confident that the new measures will fulfil the EU\u2019s requirements.
