Potential Avenues for Redress for AI-related Harms under the GDPR: A Visual Explanation
The Center for Democracy and Technology has published a visual guide mapping out how individuals can seek redress for harms caused by AI systems under the GDPR. The resource appears aimed at helping people and advocates understand which legal pathways are available when AI causes harm covered by European data protection law.
Why this matters: Most people have no idea what to do when an AI system gets them wrong — denied a loan, flagged by a hiring tool, misidentified by a government system. The GDPR gives people real rights in those situations, but the path to using them is not obvious. A clear map of those options matters because rights you cannot find are rights you cannot use. This kind of resource shifts the balance slightly toward the people on the receiving end of automated decisions.
