In the latest edition of NRF's Data Protection Report, my colleagues Steven Roosa and Wenda Tang share their insight on some of the issues involved with producing accurate predictive outcomes with AI including what's known as "data leakage." While privacy and personal information safeguards are essential, we need to get the science right first and foremost to avoid significant litigation and regulatory scrutiny. I encourage you to give it a read! https://lnkd.in/etXtRezE

The #EDPB have issued a statement recommending that DPAs be appointed as Market Surveillance Authorities (MSAs) for high-risk #AI systems under the EU's AI Act. The AI Act itself already contemplates this possibility, but only for high-risk AI systems used for law enforcement, border management, administration of justice and democratic processes. The EDPB also recommends DPAs be appointed the MSA for other high-risk AI systems, particularly (but not only) where there is a data protection angle. This would be a very significant expansion in power the DPAs - not only increasing their fining power (7% of turnover), but also their material scope beyond personal data processing.
