What it means for AI

AI on cameras (face recognition, behaviour analysis) and biometric attendance systems fall under strict ZVOP-2 rules — often they are simply not allowed. The Information Commissioner has published opinions on AI, e.g. on misleading use of AI systems and on accountability.

What you must do

  • Video surveillance: purpose, notice, limited retention; no AI analysis beyond the stated purpose.
  • Biometrics in the private sector only where strictly necessary and permitted by law.
  • Monitoring employees: proportionate, announced in advance, with employee consultation.

Examples

A store wants AI cameras that detect “suspicious behaviour”

Needs a DPIA and a clear legal basis; biometric identification of customers is not allowed. Ask the Information Commissioner first.
