Alister Pearson, the ICO’s Senior Policy Officer – Technology, introduced a new beta version of the ICO’s AI and Data Protection Risk Toolkit. Pearson explains that the ICO decided to publish the toolkit as it recognized that understanding how to assess compliance with data protection principles can be challenging in the context of AI. The work draws upon the Guidance on AI and Data Protection, as well as the ICO’s co-badged guidance with The Alan Turing Institute on “Explaining Decisions Made With AI”.
