A resource maps the interplays between the EU Artificial Intelligence Act and the GDPR, highlighting that both regimes use risk-based approaches but rest on different regulatory logics: the AI Act operates as a product safety regulation embedding organizational design responsibilities alongside concern for individual rights, whereas the GDPR directly enshrines fundamental human rights related to personal data protection. The piece notes that the AI Act and GDPR—and their interplay—are likely to evolve as a result of the Digital Omnibus and references a European Parliament report on the AI Act’s interactions with the EU digital legislative framework, including GDPR intersections.

The infographic is part of a series mapping various EU digital laws with the GDPR and enumerates specific interplay areas: processing special categories of personal data to monitor, detect and correct bias in high‑risk AI systems; fundamental rights and data protection impact assessments; human oversight; transparency; traceability; security; governance for data subject rights; AI sandboxes; and enforcement. The resource was published 21 April 2026, lists Müge Fazlioglu as contributor, and is eligible for Continuing Professional Education credits with self‑submission under CPE policy guidelines.
