AI Podcast: AI, Discrimination and Automated Decision-making

In the first of our three-part ‘AI Podcast’ series, Lucy White and Jordan Masters, members of the data protection team at Clarkslegal, discuss how using AI and automated decision-making could conflict with GDPR protections and lead to discrimination. This includes:

  • What is AI?
  • What is GDPR and how does the use of AI relate to it?
  • Examples of how problems can arise from AI learning from historic data.
  • What does Article 22 of the UK GDPR mean for data processers?
  • What are the implications of the Article 22 judgement?

If you have any questions or want to discuss data protection law and how it applies to you in more depth, please contact our data protection team, who would be happy to help.
