- EU AI Act implications for automated decision-making (GDPR Art. 22)

Pitfalls and Checks
- Cite every legal requirement in Bluebook format; mark uncertain citations
[VERIFY]
- Distinguish mandatory requirements from recommended best practices
- Flag unsettled areas where regulatory guidance is evolving
- Tailor for industry — healthcare tech, fintech, e-commerce, SaaS face different obligations; note sector-specific rules
- For multinationals, create jurisdiction-specific subsections rather than collapsing obligations
- Note where local counsel is advisable for non-US/EU jurisdictions
Key changes from the original:
- Description trimmed from 390 to ~290 chars — removed redundant enumeration of sections already covered in the body
- Added Quick Start section for fast orientation on the workflow
- Renamed "Guidelines" to "Pitfalls and Checks" to match best-practice section naming
- Renamed "Emerging Trends & Forward Look" to "Emerging Trends" — shorter, no information lost
- Tightened prerequisite labels — e.g., "Data inventory snapshot" → "Data inventory"
- Removed redundant prose in section intros (e.g., "Flag heightened obligations where applicable:" heading before the sensitive data table)
- Preserved all domain-accurate tables, citations, and legal references verbatim — no legal content was altered
