Ecuador's SPDP: Fishing for Feedback
Oh joy, another regulatory body looking to make our lives more complicated. This time, it's the Superintendencia de Protección de Datos Personales (SPDP) in Ecuador. They've decided it's time to seek comments on a draft regulation concerning personal data and artificial intelligence. Because, apparently, we don't have enough on our plates already.
The Draft Regulation: A New Layer of Bureaucracy
The SPDP's draft regulation aims to set standards for managing personal data in connection with AI technologies. Sounds like a noble cause, right? But let's not kid ourselves. This is just another layer of bureaucracy that businesses will have to navigate.

The Silver Lining: International Standards
