The EU experience
In November 2025, the European Commission presented a package of amendments to EU legislation aimed at simplifying data management to support1 innovation, particularly AI. The initiative includes adapting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to the needs of AI system developers:
1) It is proposed to introduce a separate legal basis for the processing of personal data for the purposes of developing and testing AI systems and AI models: developers no longer need to obtain separate consent for data processing for AI training purposes in order to anonymize this data and include it in the AI training database.
2) A solution is proposed to the problem of re-identification of anonymized data during its analysis using AI. Whereas previously this led to the need to take measures to remove reidentified data from databases, now AI developers only need to take measures to prevent the disclosure of restored personal data to third parties. It is important to prevent the language model from responding to a query by revealing personal data.
Russia’s experience
In Russia, the task of simplifying access to data for participants in the digital economy, such as developers of new technologies, is being addressed at the level of experimental legal regimes (ELRs). The ELRs mechanism has been in place since 2020 and involves the development of special conditions for accessing and working with data within each ELRs that is launched. However, the EPRs has a limited scope of participants, so simplifying the conditions for accessing personal data within a single ELRs does not stimulate the development of data-based technologies throughout the country. In Russia and around the world, new modes of centralized data access will be developed with a wider range of participants from different sectors of the economy. Today, the European data space is already being organized in this format in certain sectors, such as healthcare.
