[All PDP9 Questions]

Which of the following statements MOST accurately describes the potential impact of Al on the principle of transparency?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The principle of transparency requires that any processing of personal data is fair, lawful and transparent to the data subjects. This means that data subjects should be informed about the existence, nature, purpose and consequences of the processing, as well as their rights and choices regarding their data. Transparency is essential for ensuring accountability, trust and compliance in data processing. However, the use of AI can pose challenges to the principle of transparency, as AI can lead to invisible processing, with data subjects not being aware of its presence, or the logic, significance and implications of the processing. For example, AI can be used to profile, infer, predict or influence the behaviour, preferences, interests, emotions or personality of data subjects, without their knowledge or consent. AI can also be used to make automated decisions that affect data subjects, such as credit scoring, recruitment, health diagnosis or social benefits, without providing meaningful explanations or opportunities for human intervention.Therefore, it is important to ensure that data subjects are informed and empowered when AI is involved in the processing of their data, and that they can exercise their rights, such as the right to access, rectify, object, restrict, erase or port their data, or the right to challenge or contest automated decisions56.Reference:

A) Data subjects should generally expect Al to be present in processing activities. Seems like the safest bet.

Transparency? More like opacity with AI! Am I right or am I right?

I’m a bit confused about the exemptions mentioned in D. I don’t recall if there are specific cases where transparency doesn’t apply.

I feel like B and D are definitely wrong since transparency should apply to all processing activities, including AI.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember a practice question that mentioned transparency being crucial for data subjects. Maybe A is the right choice?

I think option C makes the most sense because AI can operate in ways that users aren't even aware of, right?

I think C is the best answer here. Al can definitely make processing invisible to data subjects, which would impact transparency. I'm fairly confident about that one.

B seems a bit too extreme to me. I don't think transparency requirements just don't apply to Al at all. C sounds more plausible in terms of the potential impact.

Hmm, I'm leaning towards A. Data subjects should generally expect Al to be present in processing activities these days. That seems like the safest bet.

I'm a bit confused by this question. I'm not sure if the transparency requirements apply to Al or not. I'll need to think about it more.

I think C is the most accurate statement. Al can definitely lead to invisible processing that data subjects may not be aware of.
