AI and Fundamental Rights, Transparency, Explainability, Relationship between AI Act and GDPR

Abstract

While the Commission's draft AI Act virtually ignored the legal positions of individuals, the adopted text contains a much stronger focus on this aspect and introduces two new individual rights, namely the right to lodge a complaint (Article 85 AI Act) and the right to explanation (Article 86(1) AI Act). Given the relevance of many AI systems to fundamental rights, this is to be welcomed; however, its concrete implementation raises new questions both within the internal system of the AI Act and in relation to the GDPR.
