GDPR
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the European Union's comprehensive privacy law, effective since May 2018 and binding on any organization processing EU residents' personal data. Key principles include lawfulness, fairness, transparency, purpose limitation, data minimization, accuracy, storage limitation, integrity, confidentiality, and accountability. Specific rights for individuals include access, rectification, erasure ("right to be forgotten"), portability, and the right not to be subject to solely automated decision-making with significant effects (Article 22). AI systems trained on or processing personal data are squarely in scope. Penalties reach 4% of global turnover. Real-world enforcement has targeted AI tools including ChatGPT (briefly banned in Italy in 2023 over privacy concerns), Clearview AI, and various automated decision-making systems. AI governance, AI compliance, and AI risk management programs handling EU data must integrate GDPR controls — including data subject rights handling, processing records, and impact assessments — as foundational responsible AI infrastructure for enterprise AI deployments.
