Summary/Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) poses a significant challenge for personal data protection legislation, substantially impacting the way Romanian companies develop and implement AI solutions, as well as affecting human rights. At the European level, the Artificial Intelligence Act (AIA)6 introduces a regulatory framework for the responsible use of AI, which must be harmonized with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). In this context, Romania faces challenges regarding the compatibility of its national legislation with these European regulations, particularly concerning automated data processing, algorithmic transparency, user rights, and the impact of AI use in judicial and administrative systems. The study examines the extent to which Romanian legislation is prepared to accommodate the new requirements imposed by the AIA, highlighting legal risks and additional obligations for companies developing AI-based solutions. It also evaluates the potential consequences for the Romanian technology market, including impacts on AI-focused startups and institutions utilizing artificial intelligence technologies in their operational processes. The study's conclusions emphasize the need for a proactive and integrated approach to ensure compliance with European standardswhile simultaneously protecting technological innovation and user rights.
