This document establishes general principles for and methods of processing personal identifiable information (PII) in BC/DLT systems and provides requirements and recommendations derived from legal requirements and recommendations in the GDPR. The document clarifies relevant terms for both technical as well as legal experts. It establishes a methodological framework that helps identifying types of PII as well as mapping legal principles of the GDPR to technical measures available to improve data protection or mitigate the risk of processing PII in BC/DLT-systems. This document is aimed towards establishing a high level of privacy in BC/DLT-systems. This document is applicable to all BC/DLT-systems.
The pace of innovation in AI methods, architectures and tools remains exceptionally high, driven by progress in data availability, computational capacity and algorithmic development. As a result, the professional landscape surrounding AI is in constant evolution: new roles, specialisations and skill requirements emerge, while others evolve, merge or decline in relative importance.
This CEN Workshop Agreement (CWA) is intended to function as a living reference point: a common baseline that can support dialogue, alignment and comparability, while remaining open to revision as the AI field continues to mature and transform. Readers and users of this document are encouraged to interpret and apply it with this dynamic context in mind, recognising both its value as a shared framework and its limitations in a field defined by rapid and ongoing change.
This CWA is partially based on the results of the Artificial Intelligence Skills Alliance (ARISA) project, funded under the Erasmus+ programme ‘Partnerships for Innovation; Alliances for Sectoral Cooperation on Skills’ of the European Commission.
