What to expect from AI & GDPR in 2025

The intersection of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and artificial intelligence (AI) is going to be a key focus for compliance in 2025 – and our guide is here to help you get ready.

As AI gets increasingly sophisticated – leaving massive amounts of data in its wake – it is also becoming embedded in nearly everything we do (we see you ChatGPT), putting regulators under increasing pressure to control this technology while keeping pace with its advances. 

AI’s growing reliance on personal data is raising concerns about transparency, consent and the potential for bias in automated decisions. This is the year companies are going to have to navigate the challenge of ensuring their AI systems and their data comply with GDPR’s data protection requirements, data protection laws around the world, including the UK, and the EU’s AI Act. There is even talk of potential updates to the GDPR to address these new challenges. It’s clear that 2025 is the year in which data privacy meets innovation. 

We’ll get you ready for the new UK data bill. Yes, it’s coming! We know you are already managing GDPR’s regulations from the EU, but this new bill could mean you will have to think even more when handling data this year. And then there’s the EU’s AI Act which just came into force. Not to be left out, there will likely be more regulation and enforcement in the US when it comes to managing data.

Hand in hand with all the cool new technologies come operational resilience regulations like the EU’s Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) – which comes into force in January and the Cyber Resilience Act, which is just gathering steam.

And then there’s chatGPT, which is changing everything.

How are you managing your GDPR compliance requirements?

GDPR added a significant compliance burden on DPOs and data processors. Data breaches must be reported to the authorities within 72 hours, each new data processing activity needs to be documented and Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA) must be carried out for processing that is likely to result in a high risk to individuals. Penalties for breaching GDPR can reach into the tens of millions of Euros.
