Initiative overview

Artificial intelligence is one of the prominent trends in our digital landscape, garnering significant interest from both industry and governments due to its wide-ranging applications and potential outcomes. This led to the International Conference of Data Protection and Privacy Commissioners (ICDPPC) focusing on the protection of personal data and privacy in artificial intelligence and robotics during its 38th edition in Marrakech, Morocco in 2016. Subsequently, the 40th ICDPPC held in Brussels, Belgium in 2018 approved the "Declaration on ethics and data protection in Artificial Intelligence," which established six guiding principles as essential values for safeguarding human rights in the development of artificial intelligence, which are the background of the guidelines.The initiative has the following objectives:This document contains complementary and more detailed guidelines than those contained in the RIPD document: "General recommendations for processing of personal data in Artificial Intelligence". Both these documents are framed within the normative instrument that constitutes the common reference for the entities that are members of the RIPD, which is the Standards for Personal Data Protection for Ibero-American States, approved in Santiago, Chile, in 2017.
