AI has transformed how organisations operate – but also presents a minefield of compliance challenges.
Data protection laws like the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) have shone a spotlight on how organisations handle personal data, particularly when deploying AI systems.
Privacy consultant Mark James warns:
“AI systems can lack transparency in how they make decisions, leading to bias, discrimination and significant data privacy risks.”
Why is compliance with the GDPR important when adopting AI?
- Opaque decision-making: AI systems often make decisions in a ‘black box’, leaving data subjects vulnerable to bias and discrimination.
- Automated decision-making: Organisations must respect data subjects’ rights related to fully automated decision-making, which can have significant legal and financial consequences.
- Sensitive-data processing risks: Technologies like facial recognition require handling biometric data, making data protection crucial.
