Belgian DPA releases new AI harms information brochure

Regulators call for stronger safeguards as AI expands in Belgium.
AI systems are increasing pressure on existing data protection frameworks.

The Belgian Data Protection Authority has outlined the impact of AI on privacy in a new publication, highlighting growing concerns around data use and protection. The analysis forms part of its ongoing work on emerging technologies.

According to the Belgian Data Protection Authority, AI systems rely on large volumes of data, which can increase risks related to the processing of personal data and compliance with existing regulations. This raises questions about transparency and accountability.

The authority notes that AI can make it more difficult for individuals to understand how their data is used, particularly in complex or automated decision-making systems. This may challenge established data protection principles.

The Authority emphasises the need to adapt regulatory approaches and safeguards to ensure privacy rights remain protected as AI adoption expands in Belgium.
