Summary

Danish Data Protection Authority opinion on the legal basis for municipalities' use of the AI profiling tool 'Asta' (an unemployment risk profiling tool developed by Schultz for job centres). Rules that GDPR consent cannot form the lawful basis for profiling in this context and that national legislation is required. Provides relevant legal context for municipal AI profiling in Denmark, though the ruling specifically concerns Asta rather than the Gladsaxe Model.
