European Union: the instruments named
In the EU the GDPR sets the general privacy duty and the AI Act adds duties for certain AI systems. This page names them and does not state their text.
What this page covers
- The General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679: lawful basis, purpose limitation, minimisation, the data protection impact assessment and the rights of the person.
- The AI Act, Regulation (EU) 2024/1689: risk classes, transparency duties, and the data governance duties for systems that train on personal data.
- National implementations and supervisory authority guidance on AI and profiling.
- The GDPR's Article 22 on automated decisions, which reaches a model that decides about a person without meaningful human involvement.
How to use it
Record the GDPR basis and the AI Act class for each system. Where a data protection impact assessment is required, use it as the evaluation the draft describes.
What it does not add
This page does not state the GDPR or the AI Act and is not legal advice. The AI Act is being phased in; check the current application dates.
