Protección de datos personales, Principios, Inteligencia artificial, Web scraping

Resumen

Este artículo analiza la compatibilidad del raspado web (web scraping) con la normativa europea de protección de datos personales, particularmente el Reglamento General de Protección de Datos (RGPD) y el Reglamento de Inteligencia Artificial (RIA) de la Unión Europea. A través de un estudio doctrinal y jurisprudencial, se examinan los principios fundamentales del tratamiento de datos y su tensión con el web scraping. Se evalúan los límites y excepciones aplicables al web scraping y el rol de la recolección de datos de fuentes públicas para el entrenamiento de sistemas de inteligencia artificial. Finalmente, se discuten los desafíos regulatorios y las brechas existentes en la normativa que requieren ser subsanadas mediante pronunciamientos interpretativos o a través de una solución regulatoria que garantice alcanzar un equilibrio entre la protección de los derechos de los titulares y el acceso de datos de entrenamiento para el desarrollo modelos de inteligencia artificial.
