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.
