Data Protection Authorities Key to AI Act Enforcement: EDPB Statement
The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) has issued a significant statement emphasizing the complementary relationship between the AI Act and existing EU data protection legislation. Highlighting potential supervision and coordination challenges, the EDPB underscores the importance of designating national competent authorities in areas closely tied to personal data protection. The statement advocates for a prominent role for Data Protection Authorities (DPAs) within the new enforcement framework, pointing to their extensive experience and expertise in AI-related issues.
The EDPB recommends that DPAs be designated as Market Surveillance Authorities (MSAs), particularly for high-risk AI systems referenced in Article 74(8) of the AI Act. This designation, the EDPB argues, would streamline the enforcement process by providing stakeholders with a single, well-informed point of contact. The integration of DPAs into the enforcement structure is seen as a strategic move to enhance the effectiveness and coherence of AI regulation across the EU.

EDPB Releases Key Opinion on AI and Data Protection
The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) has issued Opinion 28/2024, addressing critical questions about personal data processing in AI model development and deployment under GDPR.
Key insights include:
✅ When and how an AI model can be considered ‘anonymous.’
✅ Demonstrating legitimate interest as a legal basis in both development and deployment phases.
✅ Consequences of unlawful data processing during development on subsequent model operations.
While the opinion focuses on compliance with legitimate interest, it highlights that satisfying this requirement doesn’t exempt companies from other GDPR provisions. This nuanced guidance is a must-read for navigating AI and data protection in the EU.
