Towards trustworthy AI in the EU public administration: The EDPS Compass for its new role under the AI Act

Under the AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689), the European Data Protection Supervisor is now a market surveillance authority for AI systems used by EU institutions and a notified body for high-risk AI assessments.

The EDPS has already launched its AI Preparedness Strategy in May 2024 and established an AI Unit. Our latest document outlines:

  • New tasks and strategic vision under the AI Act;
  • Operational approach to supervising AI systems;
  • Four strategic pillars guiding its role as both regulator and assessor.

This move aims to ensure safe, compliant, and human-centric AI across EU bodies.
