The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the way companies and institutions operate worldwide. However, with new possibilities come complex challenges in handling both personal and other digital data.
Technological and regulatory requirements for companies are continuously growing, most recently with the new AI Act at EU level. One of the central key points is the responsible handling of data, as well as robust risk management. AI systems rely on large amounts of data to identify patterns and make decisions.
Regarding personal data, such as identification or health data, companies must ensure that they comply with both the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the new AI Act to avoid fines and reputational damage. Even for non-personal data, such as data that is sensitive from an intellectual property or know-how point of view, companies must ensure that these are securely stored and processed.
Although the legal requirements are less strict in this area, security measures are still essential to prevent data breaches or misuse. Companies should therefore invest in appropriate data infrastructures and train employees in the proper handling of data.
The integration of AI into everyday business operations requires not only technical adjustments but also the implementation of new regulatory requirements. Data protection and risk management are at the heart of these requirements.
To overcome these challenges and discuss the latest developments, we warmly invite you to our DPO Breakfasts on December 4 in Wemperhardt or December 6 in Eupen. These events offer you the opportunity to gain insights into the interplay between AI and data protection.
