Guidelines
EDPB Work Programme 2026-2027 (announcing joint guidelines on the interplay between the AI Act and the GDPR)
AnnouncedEDPB (European Data Protection Board)11 Feb 2026
The European Data Protection Board work programme 2026-2027, adopted on 11 February 2026, announces joint guidelines on the interplay between the AI Act and the GDPR. These guidelines do not yet exist; the Commission confirms in its Article 50 guidelines of 20 July 2026 that they are being prepared together with the European Data Protection Board. They are expected to address transparency, risk assessments, bias detection and accountability, with concrete examples.
What this means for you
Once these guidelines are available, they will become the benchmark for the combination of data protection impact assessment and fundamental rights assessment and for combined documentation, so it pays to align the approach to them now.
