What does artificial intelligence mean?<\/strong><\/p>\n The term artificial intelligence is difficult to grasp. It is understood as a branch of computer science that deals with the automation of intelligent behavior and machine learning. One example of the use of artificial intelligence is an online photo search where you can upload your own passport photo, for example. The artificial intelligence then attempts to recognize patterns based on the analysis of the image and, if possible, deliver images as search results that are identical or at least similar to the uploaded image. In the case of photos of people, the primary aim is of course to find other photos of the same person. However, artificial intelligence can also make decisions independently, e.g. when selecting applicants based on recordings of job interviews in which the artificial intelligence analyzes the applicants' body language. In terms of data protection law, there is the particular problem that, under certain circumstances, decisions with legal relevance to the data subjects may be made without being reviewed by a human being. In other cases, a person's creditworthiness may be assessed on the basis of their previous payment history, age or place of residence. Such measures could violate the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing (Art. 22 GDPR).<\/p>\n Artificial intelligence plays an important role in day-to-day business, for example when it comes to the protection and legally compliant processing of personal data.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The term artificial intelligence is difficult to grasp.
