After the Omnibus: Consent or Red Lights?
summary
Panel argues consent is overused, fragmented across 27 jurisdictions and often impractical for clinical trials, employment and complex adtech/AI ecosystems, so regulators and courts must create clear boundaries rather than defaulting to checkboxes. Proposals include a traffic light approach (blacklist/whitelist/consent), using existing laws and judgments via recital 41 to create “green” and “red” lines, and technical governance like certified guardian agents for dynamic agentic AI; omnibus timing remains uncertain.
