Intelligenza artificiale e protezione dei dati personali: problemi di metodo e di procedura

The constitutional challenges posed by AI systems implicate a range of rights and interests (from personal freedom, equality and non-discrimination, health protection, to the proper functioning of democratic institutions). At the core of all these issues lies the protection of personal data as a fundamental right, and at least two other fundamental values of general importance shared by all the Western constitutional tradition: individual identity and personal freedom. The aim of this paper is to summarise and analyse, in a comparative perspective, how the different strategies for the AI governance implemented by the European Union and by some key-US states affect these constitutional interests and are consistent with the goals they seek to achieve.
