Denmark: Announced Regulatory Sandbox for AI by Danish Data Protection Authority

On 5 March 2024, the Danish Data Protection Authority, in collaboration with the Danish Agency for Digitalisation, announced the establishment of a regulatory sandbox for Artificial Intelligence (AI). The sandbox aims to provide companies and authorities with free access to relevant expertise and guidance on the applicable legal framework, with an initial focus on the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The sandbox process is expected to support innovation and the use of responsible AI solutions through project- and practice-based guidance on specific regulatory requirements. The sandbox is also intended to reduce the time from development to operation and to ensure that fewer projects are terminated due to uncertainty about the regulatory framework.
