DataPACT: compliance by design of data/AI operations and pipelines

DataPACT is a key initiative that develops novel tools and methodologies for efficient, compliant, ethical, and sustainable data/AI operations and pipelines. DataPACT contributes to their design, implementation, and management by embedding compliance, privacy, and environmental sustainability at their core design. It delivers compliance-by-design for data/AI operations and pipelines by developing innovative technical tools (Compliance Toolbox) and supportive methodologies (Compliance Framework) for compliance assessment and realization of data/AI pipelines designed, deployed, and executed through a set of management tools and techniques (Compliance-aware Data/AI Pipeline Toolbox). This paper presents an overview of DataPACT, focusing on motivation, methodology, and use cases.
