When you are popular, people like to talk about you. Not all of it is true though.
Allow us to serve some General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) realness.
The EU has had data protection rules since 1995
The GDPR is not a completely brand-new set of EU data protection rules.
It’s an evolution of the existing set of rules, based on the strong data protection principles set out in the Data Protection Directive.
These rules have been around since 1995, so it’s time to make sure that they’re fit for the digital age.
GDPR makes sure that personal data are protected in Artificial Intelligence (AI)
The protection of personal data is a fundamental right in the EU.
As such it applies also to processing of personal data through artificial intelligence and robotics.
However, when the data used for AI are anonymised, then the requirements of the GDPR do not apply.
GDPR has been designed to be technologically neutral and provides the framework for the development of an AI respectful of citizens. GDPR allows automated decision making where there is a justification either by a contract, explicit consent or a law, and provided that specific safeguards for the individuals concerned are applied, such as the right to receive meaningful information about the logic involved and the envisaged consequences of such processing on them.
