Abstract

Relevant data resources are critical for ai-supported decision-making. Thus, control over data, and how that moves across borders, has become a key point of international dispute. This article analyses the EU’s international legal positionings regarding cross-border data flows in the context of an increasingly fierce global battle over data resources. It also asks whether the EU approach to data government, which is reflected in its international positionings, can contribute to address the pressing problem of the unequal distribution of the gains of the data driven economy in and among states. The article argues that EU’s approach to data government is ridden with contradictions and that its centrepiece, the data protection framework, is best understood as a non-performative. This non-performativity, together with the determination to climb up the ladders of global digital value chains, makes the EU’s position on cross-border data flows ambiguous and downgrades its punch in international negotiations.
全球不平等与欧盟对跨境数据流的国际法立场
相关数据资源对于人工智能支持的决策至关重要。因此,对数据的控制,以及数据如何跨境流动,已成为国际争端的一个关键点。本文分析了在全球数据资源争夺战日益激烈的背景下,欧盟在跨境数据流方面的国际法律定位。报告还提出,欧盟在数据政府方面的做法(反映在其国际定位上)能否有助于解决数据驱动型经济在国家内部和国家之间收益分配不均这一紧迫问题。这篇文章认为,欧盟的数据管理方法充满了矛盾,而其核心——数据保护框架——最好被理解为一种非实效性。这种不作为,再加上想要攀登全球数字价值链阶梯的决心,使欧盟在跨境数据流问题上的立场变得模棱两可,并降低了其在国际谈判中的影响力。
