🔍 Friday the 13th — Unlucky? Not for Croatian AI deployers. Quite the opposite, it turned out to be a lucky 🍀 day for everyone eager to build responsible and rights-respecting AI systems 🤖⚖️.The workshop, organized by the Croatian Data Protection Authority (AZOP) Zdravko Vukić on 13th June 🇭🇷, brought together experts and practitioners to learn how to carry out a Fundamental Rights Impact Assessment (FRIA) in practice. 👨🏫🌟Thanks to the brilliant Prof. Alessandro Mantelero, participants had the opportunity to learn how to conduct a FRIA through practical, real-life examples. Together with the Autoritat Catalana de Protecció de Dades DPA, Alessandro developed a pioneering FRIA methodology: clear, hands-on, and designed to ensure that AI systems truly respect fundamental rights. But let’s not kid ourselves , this is not a few hours ⏱️ box-ticking exercise. FRIA requires deep understanding of how your AI system works and how fundamental rights apply in real-world contexts 🌍. 🤝 We rolled up our sleeves and have been learning by doing. This was a prime example of cooperation between academia, businesses, public authorities, legal experts and regulators at its best. Together, we explored use cases like: 🩺 AI for calculating health insurance premiums 🎓 AI for candidate selection in university admissions 🎟️ Automated ticket dispatching systems 📄 AI-powered CV screening tools in recruitment 🥼 AI for personalized food supplement recommendations Dr. Natalija Parlov Una Stefan Martinić Ivan Ivankovic 🙏We are truly grateful to Prof. Alessandro Mantelero for delivering the most dynamic, practical and engaging event we’ve ever hosted at our DPA. I’ve never met an expert who so passionately advocates for fundamental rights, shares his knowledge so generously and openly and at the same time remains remarkably down-to-earth, kind and pragmatic. Thank you, Alessandro, for your inspiring energy and unwavering commitment to human dignity in the age of AI! While some still see FRIA  (and AI regulation) as an unecessary burden, we see it as a necessary safeguard 🛡️. Because behind every data point is a human being: a child 👶, a parent 👩👧, a friend 🧑🤝🧑. So ask yourself: ❓ Would you accept being charged a higher premium because an algorithm inferred your ethnicity or income level? ❓ Would you be okay with your child being denied access to education due to a biased model? ❓ Would you want your friend reduced to a keyword match without explanation? ❓ Would you want your grandmother denied medical help just because of her age? ❓ Would you want your father misled by AI-generated health advice? 👉 I believe the answer is NO. And that’s exactly why we need FRIA. We now look forward to complementing this methodology with Croatian use cases 🇭🇷📈, making it even more relevant and impactful in our national context. Karlo P.

Danas sam održala interaktivnu edukaciju Olivia i GDPR. Olivia je nastala u okviru EU projekta EU ARC- GDPR COMPLIANCE for SMEs, konzorcij Croatian Data Protection Authority-Agencija za zaštitu osobnih podataka, The Italian Data Protection Authority, Fakulteta organizacije i informatike – Sveučilište u Zagrebu, Sveučilišta Vrije i Sveučilišta u Firenci. Riješili smo kviz o organizacijskim mjerama zaštite osobnih podataka i dobili potvrde o edukaciji, izradili Pravilnik o informacijskoj sigurnosti te raspravljali o tehničkim mjerama zaštite osobnih podataka. Na kraju smo napisali ugovor o obradi podataka, izgenerirali standardne ugovorne klauzule za prijenos osobnih podataka i proučili upitnik za ocjenu učinka na prijenos osobnih podataka. Hvala Hrvatska gospodarska komora, Croatian Compliance Association - Hrvatska udruga za usklađenost poslovanja i Udruga korporativnih pravnika na organizaciji i hvala svim polaznicima na sudjelovanju! #oliviaknowsgdpr #gdpr #gdprcompliance #compliance
