I don't see where the competitive advantage you mention lies?
Well, if you can't perform ML on data about the population that is most accessible to you, you are at a competitive disadvantage to those who can. I can't think of many EU companies that control large amounts of data on US citizens. Though I'm sure they exist, there are many more US companies that would have larger volumes of data on US citizens.
- jimnotgym 8y agoSo you are arguing that US firms operating in the US are in competition with UK firms operating in the UK? I don't see how they are in competition at all?
- downandout 8y agoHumans are humans, regardless of what country they live in. If I have a larger dataset than you, and I can do more things with it, then I can predict human behavior in a given situation better than you can. That gives me a competitive advantage over you. I may be able to then go compete with you in the EU without ever having to violate the ML provisions of GDPR, because I know what humans - whether in the EU or US - will do. Granted, there are some country-specific behaviors that this will not apply to, but then nobody will be finding out what those are in the EU because it's now illegal to do there.
