Summary · derived from the Bulgaria AI Note (Irena Koleva)
The Bulgarian Personal Data Protection Act is the national implementing law for the General Data Protection Regulation. Per the Bulgaria AI Note (Irena Koleva), the Act is central where AI involves processing of personal data: controllers deploying AI must ensure lawful basis, transparency, data minimisation, purpose limitation, and, for high-risk processing, data-protection impact assessments. The proposed national AI Bill would strengthen data-related duties in the public sector by requiring specific instructions and guidance for AI deployments by public authorities.
The Act gives the Commission for Personal Data Protection investigation, opinion, and sanctioning powers.
