What is data scraping?
Data scraping is an automated process through which computer programs extract vast amounts of data from the internet at a faster rate than manual data collection methods.
Some businesses scrape data for internal purposes, such as generating leads, or to create products and services available for public use, such as price
In the rapidly evolving tech industry sector, artificial intelligence (AI) stands at the forefront of innovation. Although stakeholders active in the technology sector represent the natural leaders of AI and are adopting AI to a greater extent than companies related to other industry sectors,[1] they are faced with an increasingly complex international regulatory landscape.
We are living through the most dynamic regulatory and commercial moment for artificial intelligence since the advent of cloud computing. Contract standards and supervisory expectations are being shaped in real time, propelled by the extraordinary velocity of technical change and the breadth of AI’s impact across ethical, anthropological, and legal domains.

CrowdStrike’s 2025 Threat Hunting Report offers key insights into the current cyber threat landscape. Drawing on data from July 2024 to June 2025, the report showcases how adversaries are becoming more sophisticated, scalable, and business-like in their operations. These “enterprising adversaries” are not only innovating their tactics but also exploiting emerging technologies such as generative
The first comprehensive legal framework for artificial intelligence (AI), Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (the EU AI Act), entered into force last year. Rather than taking immediate effect, the harmonized rules on AI under the Act have been staggered in application.
The first of the EU AI Act’s obligations took effect on February 2, 2025, prohibiting certain
The Italian Data Protection Authority’s recent decision provided guidance on the true meaning of personal data anonymization and the crucial distinction between the DPO as a monitor – not an executor. In a world driven by AI and public surveillance, both concepts are more relevant than ever.
On April 10, 2025, the Garante issued a
The European Commission (Commission) adopted its long-anticipated guidelines on the scope of obligations for general-purpose artificial intelligence (GPAI) models under Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (AI Act) (Guidelines) on July 18, 2025. The Guidelines closely follow the publication of the Commission’s and AI Office’s GPAI Code of Practice (Code), which outlines several measures that providers of GPAI
We previously wrote about a Chinese court decision that protected the copyright of AI-generated images in the ‘half heart’ case. However, in a recent case, the Zhangjiagang People’s Court (in China’s Jiangsu province) denied copyright protection for AI-generated works.
In the new ‘butterfly chairs’ case, the plaintiff used the AI tool Midjourney to create three
The European Commission published its General-Purpose AI Code of Practice (Code) on July 10, 2025, after a long drafting process that was originally intended to conclude in May 2025. The development of the code was facilitated by the European AI Office, and involved nearly 1,000 stakeholders, including academics, model developers, AI safety experts, representatives from
The EU is advancing toward its Digital Decade goal of digital transformation by 2030, which includes at least 75% of EU business using cloud-edge technologies for their activities. Meanwhile, one of the cornerstone regulations is promising to reshape the legal and operational landscape for cloud service providers (CSPs) and their customers.
The Data Act takes effect from
