The article centers on a leaked EU proposal that would allow AI companies to use personal data extensively without consent, potentially breaching data protection rights. While no direct harm has yet occurred, the proposal's adoption could plausibly lead to violations of fundamental rights protected by law, fitting the definition of an AI Hazard. The AI systems' data processing is central to the risk, but since the event is about a legislative proposal and not an actual incident, it is not an AI Incident. It is not Complementary Information because it is not an update or response to a past incident but a new potential risk. It is not Beneficial Use or Unrelated.[AI generated]
