European Data Protection Supervisor Publishes on Generative Artifical Intelligence

The European Data Protection Supervisor (“EDPS”) published guidelines on generative Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) and personal data for EU institutions, bodies, offices and agencies (“EUIs”) on 29/05/2024.

 

The guidelines aim to help EUIs comply with the data protection obligations set out in Regulation (EU) 2018/1725, when using or developing generative AI tools.

 

The guidelines emphasise on data protection’s core principles, combined with concrete examples, as an aid to anticipate risks, challenges and opportunities of generative AI systems and tools.

 

As such, the guidelines focus on a series of important topics, including advice on how EUIs can distinguish whether the use of such tools involves the processing of individuals’ data; when to conduct a data protection impact assessment; and other essential recommendations.

 

The EDPS issues these guidelines within its role as independent data protection authority of the EUIs, so that they comply with the EU’s data protection law applicable to them, in particular Regulation (EU) 2018/1725.
