Yes. When an AI system processes personal data — in training, testing or use — data protection law such as the GDPR applies. Organisations must have a lawful basis, be transparent, respect data subject rights, minimise data, keep it secure, and often carry out a data protection impact assessment for higher-risk processing.

A data protection impact assessment (DPIA) is a structured assessment of privacy risks in a processing activity and how to reduce them. It is required for processing likely to result in high risk to individuals, which commonly includes large-scale profiling, automated decision-making and many AI applications.
