AI0-001 AI Governance and Ethics Practice Question
A healthcare AI system is subject to GDPR because it processes patient data. Which THREE requirements must the system satisfy?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often confuse the requirements of GDPR for AI systems. A common trap is assuming that explicit consent is always required for healthcare AI processing, but GDPR provides other lawful bases (e.g., vital interests, public health). The right to explanation is a distinct requirement under Article 22 for automated decision-making, and data minimization principles apply broadly.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Right to explanation of decisions
Article 22 of the GDPR grants data subjects the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects or similarly significant effects. For healthcare AI systems, this means patients have the right to obtain an explanation of the decision reached by the algorithm, such as how a diagnosis or treatment recommendation was derived. This requirement ensures transparency and accountability in high-stakes automated decisions.
