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.
