EDPS Issues Opinion on Privacy Risks in Artificial Intelligence Systems

UK Version of GDPR

The European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) has published an official opinion warning about privacy risks arising from AI systems used by EU institutions and private entities.

Key risks include automated decision-making, opaque algorithms, excessive data collection, and insufficient human oversight. The EDPS emphasizes GDPR principles such as fairness, explainability, and accountability.

This opinion reinforces the need for AI-specific DPIAs, governance frameworks, and ethical reviews.
