Frequently Asked Questions

Does the AI Act replace GDPR?

No. They apply in parallel where both are in scope.

Do security AI tools always need a DPIA?

If processing is likely high risk under Article 35 criteria — often yes for large-scale monitoring/profiling.

Can AI auto-close GDPR breaches?

Automation can draft packs; humans remain accountable for Art 33/34 decisions.
