Your Rights in an AI World
| Right | What It Means | How to Exercise It |
|---|---|---|
| Right to Explanation | Know why an automated decision was made about you | Request under GDPR Article 22 |
| Right to Opt Out | Opt out of having your data used for AI training | Privacy settings, GDPR deletion requests |
| Right to Contest | Challenge an automated decision | Company appeals process, ombudsman |
| Right to Human Review | Request human review of automated decisions | Especially for credit, hiring, criminal justice |
| Right to Transparency | Know when interacting with AI (not human) | EU AI Act transparency requirements |
TIP: Practical steps: Opt out of AI training in settings (LinkedIn, Meta, X, Adobe all have this). For job rejections: you have the right to request the criteria used in automated screening under GDPR.
