Impactful Policy Frameworks
Digital Services Act (DSA) - EU (2022)
The Digital Services Act (DSA), adopted in 2022, is a landmark EU regulation that imposes comprehensive obligations on online platforms regarding content moderation, transparency, and accountability.
While primarily targeting large platforms, the DSA influences data practices and content policies, potentially affecting how data is collected and used, and increasing scrutiny on data scraping activities for commercial purposes within the EU market.
Data Act - EU (2024)
The Data Act, entered into force in 2024, aims to make data more accessible, particularly industrial data, by setting rules on who can access and use data generated from connected products or related services.
This policy could create both opportunities and challenges for data service providers; while it promotes data sharing, it also imposes obligations regarding fair access, potentially impacting proprietary data scraping models and requiring clear consent mechanisms.
AI Act - EU (2024, provisional agreement)
The EU AI Act, provisionally agreed in 2024, is the first comprehensive legal framework on Artificial Intelligence, categorizing AI systems by risk level and imposing strict requirements on high-risk AI applications.
This regulation will directly impact EDISON's development and deployment of AI-driven solutions (e.g., for automated product matching, pricing algorithms), requiring adherence to transparency, explainability, and safety standards, especially for high-risk applications in e-commerce or financial sectors.
