EDPB adopts statement on age assurance, creates AI enforcement task force, and issues recommendations to WADA

During its February 2025 plenary meeting, the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) adopted a statement on age assurance and decided to create a task force on AI enforcement. The statement outlines ten principles for the compliant processing of personal data when determining an individual’s age or age range, aiming to protect minors while adhering to data protection principles. The EDPB also emphasized the need for age verification methods to be non-intrusive, ensuring the protection of children’s data.

In addition, the EDPB expanded its ChatGPT task force to include AI enforcement and set up a quick response team to handle urgent issues. The committee reaffirmed the GDPR’s commitment to promoting responsible innovation while maintaining high data protection standards, particularly in AI. The EDPB also adopted recommendations on the 2027 World Anti-Doping Code, focusing on safeguarding athletes’ data during the anti-doping process. Learn more.
