Frequently Asked Questions
What are the main data privacy laws affecting AI?+
The EU's GDPR is the most comprehensive, imposing strict rules on data collection, processing, and subject rights. In the US, a patchwork of state laws — led by California's CCPA/CPRA — governs personal data. AI systems that process personal data must comply with whichever laws apply to their users.
How does GDPR apply to AI systems?+
GDPR requires lawful basis for processing personal data, transparency about automated decision-making, data minimization, and the right to erasure. AI systems trained on personal data or making decisions about individuals face significant compliance obligations, including potential impact assessments.
What should enterprises do to ensure AI data privacy compliance?+
Enterprises should conduct data protection impact assessments for high-risk AI uses, implement data minimization and anonymization practices, establish clear retention policies, and appoint data protection officers where required. Vendor contracts must also address data processing responsibilities.
