Denmark Plans New Bill for Public Sector AI Data Access

Your personal data in Denmark may soon train public artificial intelligence models.

The Danish government is preparing new legislation on public data use.

This bill grants public bodies blanket authorization to process personal data.

It covers data across all public services in Denmark.

The new law waives traditional data restrictions.

Normally, authorities cannot re-use data across different administrative purposes.

Under this plan, public sector offices can build AI models together.

They can also train AI tools using health and social records.

This change directly alters privacy protections for all Danish residents.

It affects how authorities handle your CPR details.

The government moves forward despite criticism of these AI plans.
