“Impact assessments at the service of the protection of fundamental rights in the face of artificial intelligence systems” (#Juniors2Seniors with Victor Mulin Leal, Sofia Wengorovius and Manuel Fernando Silva Rodrigues)

This edition of #Juniors2Seniors is entitled “Impact assessments at the service of the protection of fundamental rights before artificial intelligence systems”, and is led by Victor Mulin Leal (PhD student at School of Law of UMinho with an FCT research grant awarded by JusGov). This young researcher studies the development of trustworthy AI, aiming to understand to what extent the impact assessment for the protection of personal data can act both in risk management and in the protection of fundamental rights, within the regulatory framework that emerges from the combined reading of the GDPR and the AI Regulation. Victor Mulin Leal has as guests Sofia Wengorovius (jurist, judge, former personal data protection officer at the Portuguese Superior Council of the Judiciary) and Manuel Fernando Silva Rodrigues (computer engineer, researcher at Algoritmi of the School of Engineering of UMinho and LASI – Associated Laboratory of Intelligent Systems).
