The Regulation of Algorithms and Artificial Intelligence under the GDPR, Case Law and Proposed Legislation

Autonomous cars will be working (among other things) thanks to a wide use of A.I. The regulation of Artificial intelligence has been a matter of debate for some time and different theories have been developed on how to govern A.I. Yet, recently many steps forward the regulation of A.I. have been made. In this paper I shall analyze how the legal scenario of data governance in Europe has been changing and how the regulation of Algorithms (hence of A.I.) is moving forward I Europe. I shall briefly recall the GDPR provisions applicable to the regulation of algorithms, then examine recent case law where the legal aspects of algorithms regulation have been at the basis of the decisions issued. Finally, I shall briefly review the proposed European Regulation on A.I. to illustrate its potential impact on the industry.
