Does training an AI model actually constitute processing personal data?

How the GDPR interacts with AI models: my in-depth look at whether AI model training even involves the processing of “personal data”, and which legal grounds might be most appropriate even if we do consider that personal data is involved. With the European Data Protection Board’s “stakeholder” event registration opening tomorrow in relation to its upcoming Opinion on the topic, I hope this helps to draw attention to some of the key questions that I think *actually* need to be looked at.
