The EU is already falling behind in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) race. Greater data
availability is needed to train Machine learning (ML) models. Nonetheless collecting data and
making it available can be costly. Data holders are therefore reluctant to share without
incentives. Some companies are already sharing data and this trend is expected to increase.
Still these companies share only a small proportion of the data they hold. Data is not being
used to its full potential and there are legal administrative and technological barriers to
business-to-business (B2B) data sharing. This book analyses whether the current EU legal
framework can be leveraged to address these barriers and promote B2B data sharing for AI
development.
