GDPR and AI

How the General Data Protection Regulation applies to processing performed by artificial intelligence systems.

As soon as an AI tool processes personal data — names in a contract, customer emails, meeting transcripts — the GDPR fully applies: legal basis, minimization, informing data subjects, regulating transfers outside the EU and the right of access. Breaches expose companies to fines of up to 4% of worldwide annual revenue or €20 million.

The main friction point with US cloud AI is data transfer outside the EU and possible access by foreign authorities. Sovereign deployment (on-premise or a trusted European cloud) radically simplifies compliance: data never leaves the company's perimeter.

Sovereign AI, in practice

Every AI model, deployed on your infrastructure, with your documents connected.
