EDPB adopts statement on DPAs role in AI Act framework
In this article:
During its latest plenary, the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) adopted a statement on the Data Protection Authorities’ (DPAs) role in the Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act) framework.
- According to the EDPB, DPAs already have experience and expertise when dealing with the impact of AI on fundamental rights, in particular the right to protection of personal data, and should therefore be designated as Market Surveillance Authorities (MSAs) in a number of cases.
- This would ensure better coordination among different regulatory authorities, enhance legal certainty for all stakeholders and strengthen the supervision and enforcement of both the AI Act and EU data protection law.
