Abstract

Bots Bots and AI Artificial Intelligence (AI) have the potential to revolutionize the way that personal data Personal data is processed. Unlike processing performed by traditional methods, they have an unprecedented ability (and patience) to gather, analyze and combine information. However, the introduction of “smarter” computers does not always mean that the nature of the processing will change; often, the result will be substantially similar to processing by a human. We cannot, then, regulate processing by bots Bots and AI Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a sui generis concept. This chapter examines the different regulatory approaches that exist under the new General Data Protection Regulation General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (the GDPR General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) )—the general regulatory approach (which treats all processing in the same way), the specific regulatory approach (which imposes specific rules for automated processing Automated processing ) and the co-regulatory approach (where data controllers are required to analyze and mitigate the risks on their own). It then considers how these approaches interact and makes some recommendations for how they should be interpreted and implemented in the future.
