Artificial intelligence and data protection

AI and data protection are compatible – we can help you achieve this!

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) has long been indispensable for many companies, public authorities, associations, and NGOs, often offering significant advantages and simplifications. In many cases, personal data is processed throughout the entire life cycle of AI – from the development and training of AI models and systems to the derivation and creation of outputs and their further use. 

Advice on the GDPR and EU AI Act from a single source

In addition to the data protection requirements of the GDPR, the EU AI Act, which came into force on August 2, 2024, introduces a number of new regulations that companies, public authorities, associations, and NGOs must be aware of with immediate effect.  

In addition to providing data protection advice on the use of AI systems, we also offer legal advice on all issues relating to the EU AI Act. 

The EU AI Act obliges companies, public authorities, associations, and NGOs to ensure that their employees have a “sufficient level of AI competence.” We offer training courses and e-learning modules on the topic of “AI competence.” With TrainingPilot, we offer our clients a modern and flexible online solution. 

    Data protection challenges in the use of AI

    We support you in leveraging the benefits of AI in your organisation in a manner that complies with data protection regulations. We take a pragmatic and solution-oriented approach to the specific data protection challenges associated with the use of AI: 

    • What should you look for when selecting an AI system that is as compliant with data protection as possible? 

    • How can data protection transparency requirements be met and the rights of data subjects be protected? 

    • How can the data protection-compliant deletion of personal data be ensured? 

    • What special features need to be considered with regard to a data protection impact assessment (DPIA)? 

    • What agreements must be made with providers of AI systems? 

    • What needs to be considered when using outputs from AI systems if they contain personal data?
