Informational Privacy and Trust in Autonomous Intelligent Systems

Abstract

For a successful societal deployment of Autonomous Intelligent Systems (AIS), citizen’s trust is crucial. The central theme of this Chapter is formed by the relationship between informational privacy protection, trust and acceptance of autonomous intelligent technology. This contribution is written from a legal perspective. Certain rules of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) are analysed that may apply to AIS-solutions. It is investigated to what extent the application of these rules to AIS-solutions may influence citizen’s trust that their informational privacy is well-protected.
