BfDI presents 32nd Activity Report

The BfDI draws a particularly positive conclusion regarding international cooperation:

 „We are creating high data protection standards at a global level. This harmonization is a step forward for citizens’ rights, but also for the economy, which depends on free and trustworthy data traffic. The BfDI's expertise in this area is valued internationally and in high demand.” Prof. Ulrich Kelber

This was already evident last year with the topic of artificial intelligence (AI). With the emergence of the first applications for the general public and the discussions about the European Union's AI Regulation, it became clear once again that artificial intelligence must also be given a framework from a data protection perspective. The BfDI commented: “We have dealt with the topic of AI in the German Data Protection Conference and also in the European Data Protection Board, the Global Privacy Assembly and in the context of the G7 Roundtable of privacy authorities so that we can exploit the opportunities offered by the technology without exposing ourselves to the risks”.

A similar view applies to the urgently needed digitization of the health care system. Here, the BfDI has advised the government intensively on the Health Data Use Act, the Digital Act and the European Health Data Space. In addition, last year the authority highlighted the possibilities and limitations of the planned so-called chat control, the legislation on intelligence services and the modernization of the Federal Police Act.
