Germany’s federal data protection authority has published a comprehensive AI questionnaire designed to help organizations ensure GDPR compliance when implementing AI systems. This framework covers the entire AI lifecycle, from training data to data subject rights, and addresses AI-specific risks like bias and explainability. It also provides guidance on Article 22 (automated decision-making) and emphasizes structured documentation for supervisory authority interactions. The questionnaire serves as both an audit tool for data protection authorities and a self-assessment tool for organizations, covering core areas such as data protection foundations, AI system architecture, training data governance, automated decision-making, transparency, and explainability. Implementing this framework can lead to proactive risk management, stakeholder alignment, regulatory readiness, and competitive advantage through responsible AI practices.
