FADP and AI: How to Deploy AI in Compliance with Data Protection
By Marina Nerandzic
February 1, 2025
The revised Data Protection Act (FADP) has been in force since September 2023 and has direct implications for the use of AI systems in Swiss companies.
The 5 Most Important FADP Requirements for AI Systems
- Transparency: Inform affected persons when AI systems make or support decisions.
- Data minimization: Only process personal data that is actually necessary for the purpose.
- Data security: Implement technical and organizational measures to protect data.
- Right of access: Ensure that affected persons can obtain information about the processing of their data.
- Impact assessment: Conduct a data protection impact assessment for high-risk AI systems.
Our recommendation: Rely on Swiss-hosted AI solutions that are designed to be FADP-compliant from the start. This avoids costly retrofitting and builds trust with your customers.
