AI is believed to have great potential in the field of dermatology and skincare. Currently, different solutions are being developed in order to personalise skincare for people. For example, algorithms can be developed, which make use of computer vision and machine learning in order to help people find the right skincare treatments for them. There are two ways how AI is used for this. First, it is possible to develop computer and mobile applications, which analyse the skin of a person based on the person’s selfie. The application analyses, what the person’s skin type is and what kind of products or treatments the person should use.

The use of AI-based technologies brings along various legal issues, such as liability questions regarding damages caused by using AI. When it comes to AI, there are data protection concerns as well. As explained in this article, it is difficult to comply with the core principles of data protection stipulated in Article 5 of the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and the Council (the “GDPR”). It is particularly problematic to achieve compliance with the principles of transparency, purpose limitation and data minimisation.

Digitising industry is the only way for industrial modernisation. The development of suitable solutions might be quite a challenge.

Algorithms have established themselves in almost every field of life and economy. Various automated programs have also become part of the process in recruitment and employing staff, respectively, with or without big data analysis. The use of such technologies in recruitment or in the assessment of work processes, in general, should take into account both the protection of personal data and the prevention of discrimination.

In recent years we have seen the creation of “art” by artificial intelligence. This means that the creative process is totally and independently done by software. We can ask ourselves whether this really is art, can art only be produced by humans?
