GDPR isn't danger for machine learning, says GDPR Delivery Manager

When it comes to machine learning and the upcoming GDPR, which will take place on the 25 May 2018, there is a widespread belief that GDPR might kill machine learning because it brings the obligation to explain the algorithm to the user. Some say that it will stop deep learning completely because you can't explain how the system evolves in deep learning even if you want to. According to Can Huzmeli, GDPR Delivery Manager at ICAN Consultancy, GDPR will not stop, nor is dangerous, for neither machine learning nor deep learning. "GDPR is focusing on what data you used as the input to the system and who you share the data with as a result of your processing. The'how' part is only related to security," said Huzmeli.
