AI and Robotics will inescapable be part of our society. These systems and artificial entities will process unimaginable amounts of our personal data. The GDPR requirements for transparency and explicit consent will vanish the in black hole of self learning algorithms. If AI is integrated in human functioning as well as on a physical as also on intellectual level it will be very difficult to enact credible legal rules for the protection of personal data. Probably it will be an idea to create separate rules for a human(-like) anthropomorphic entity and human enhancement. Next to data protection regulations by design and a sui generis law on legal personhood we would better create non-discrimination rules to avoid separation between enhanced and non-enhanced humans!
