A view from Brussels: A sneak peek into upcoming guidelines on GDPR, AI Act interplay

European regulators are preparing guidance aimed at clarifying how the GDPR and the EU AI Act interact, offering a preview of the framework that will govern personal data use within AI systems across the bloc.

Why this matters: How these two regimes are reconciled will determine the practical strength of individuals' data rights when their information is processed by AI — gaps or ambiguities in the guidance could quietly erode GDPR protections in high-stakes automated contexts.

Latest EDPS Newsletter out now

The European Data Protection Supervisor has released its latest newsletter, covering highlights from its 2025 Annual Report, guidance issued on an EU visa platform chatbot, contributions to the Digital Omnibus legislative debate, and an upcoming conference examining AI use in recruitment.

Why this matters: The EDPS's focus on AI in hiring and a visa-system chatbot signals active regulatory scrutiny of automated decision-making in high-stakes contexts — areas where individuals' rights, due process, and freedom of movement can be directly affected by opaque algorithmic systems.

Hired by an algorithm: Data protection and AI regulation in modern HR practices

The European Data Protection Board is hosting a July conference examining the growing use of AI tools in hiring and recruitment, with a focus on the data protection implications these systems raise for job applicants and employers alike.

Why this matters: Algorithmic hiring systems can collect and process extensive personal data with limited transparency, leaving candidates with little visibility into how automated decisions affect them — raising real concerns about profiling, bias, and meaningful consent in high-stakes employment contexts.

Rethinking AI data: From scraping to sustainable and ethical data sharing

The OECD's VIADUCT initiative examines growing tensions in AI training data acquisition, questioning the sustainability of web scraping and exploring alternatives centered on ethical data-sharing frameworks that account for copyright, GDPR compliance, and equitable access.

Why this matters: A shift away from indiscriminate scraping toward consent-based data-sharing models could strengthen individuals' control over how their personal content and information fuels AI systems — a meaningful development for data rights under frameworks like GDPR.
