Abstract: The EU’s AI Act introduces new classifications and responsibilities for AI systems, while GDPR continues to govern how personal data is processed. Organisations developing or deploying AI now face the challenge of applying two regulatory frameworks that use different concepts, assign different roles, and focus on different risks. This presentation examines the practical difficulties of mapping and categorising under both regimes and highlights opportunities for building coherent, efficient compliance approaches.
