Grumpy GDPR: Banking on Emotions

The Hungarian DPA fined Budapest Bank approximately €700,000 for carrying out automated decision-making and profiling based on emotional AI analysis of customer service calls, without a valid legal basis, a proper balancing of interests, and adequate safeguards. The DPA also held that the bank failed to provide data subjects with information related to the processing and their right to object.
