Responsible AI:
set of principles that help guide the design, development, deployment and use of AI
-> building trust in AI solutions
involves the consideration of a broader societal impact of AI
required to align thsese technologies with Stakehodler values and legal standards and ethical principles
resp AI embeds this etical principals in AI applications and workflows to mitigate risks and negative outcomes while maximizing positive outcomes
OECD AI principles:
inclusive growth, ssustainable develoopment and well being
transparency and explainability (factors determining unemployment rate)
accountability
Human rights and democratic values, including fairness and privacy
robustness, security and safety
From Bias to Trustworthy AI – Quick-wins
“Fairness is not automatic — it’s intentional”
Diverse training datasets
Bias audits (e.g., aequitas)
Human-in-the-loop review
Transparent documentation of
model logic (e.g., Model Cards)
AI act & General Data Protection Regulation
-> must knows
AI act (regulation)
The first EU legal framework to adress the risks on AI. It sets clear requirements and obligations for AI developers and users, and positions Europe as a global leader. It also aims to reduce administrative and financial burdens, especially for SMEs.
GDPR (Regulation)
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is an EU law governing the collection, processing, and storage of personal data. It protects individuals’ rights to privacy while allowing free data flow within the EU. Organizations must follow strict rules on transparency, consent, accountability, and security, with heavy penalties for non-compliance.
Data Governance Act (DGA), Data Act & Open Data Directive
-> good to know
AI act in detail:
The AI Act aims to provide AI developers and deployers with clear requirements and
obligations regarding specific uses of AI.
prohibited AI practives:
manipulative or deceptive techniques
exploits any vulnerability of a natural person
untargeted scraping of facial images for facial recognition databases
infer emotions at workplace
Example:
AI systems intended to be used for the recruitment or selection of natural persons, (…) to analyse and filter job applications, and to evaluate candidates;

Employment, workers’ management and
access to self-employment
Access to and enjoyment of essential private
services and essential public services and benefits
Law enforcement
Migration, asylum and border control management
Administration of justice and democratic processes
Requierements for high-risk AI systems
AI act

Which rules to follow in the EU?
GDPR + AI Act + other data/ AI/ digital legislation + industry specific legilation
Main legal documents in a data project
Legal Agreement between Service Provider & Partner/ Client
Individual NDA
Data Processing Agreements/ Joint Controller Agreements (GDPR)
GDPR deepdive:
What?
It is a regulation in EU law on data protection and privacy in the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA). It also addresses the transfer of personal data outside the EU and EEA areas.
To give control to individuals over their personal data and to simplify the regulatory environment for international business by unifying the regulation within the EU.
California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) has many similarities
GDPR
What data can we process and under which conditions
processed in a lawful and transparent manner
specific purpose for processing or new purpose compatible with original one
only necessary data -> data minimisation
keep data up-to-date
only user for initial purpose -> purpose limitation principle
storage no langer than necessary -> storage limitation
technical and organisational safeguards
What information must be given toi ndividuals whose
data is collected?
who
why
legal justification
how long
transfered outside the EU?
copy of the data
right to lodge a complaint
right to withdraw consent
existence of automated decision-making
GDPR 10 key ingredients
Does a company needs to have a data Protection officer?
if core acticity is processing data on a large scale
large scale, regular and systematic monitoring of individuals
public administration
Measuring impact of a data and AI project
How can I measure the impact of the data and AI tool created on my original problem/ opportunity?
What key indicators can be connected to my tool?
How does performance compare before and after implementing the model?
Are there secondary indicators (cost, time, quality, customer satisfaction) that also reflect impact?
(project: develop a recommender system to match demand and supply in the job market)
About adoption and End Users:
1. How are end-users (internal teams or customers)
experiencing the AI tool?
2. Does it enhance decision-making quality or
improve the customer experience?
3. Are there any complaints, trust issues, or ethical
concerns arising from its use?
4. Are employees actually using the AI tool in their
workflows?
5. What are the barriers to adoption across teams?
6. Is the model reducing manual effort or decision
time? If so, by how much?
