What the EU AI Act and GDPR require of EHS teams
Using AI responsibly in EHS: what applies now, and how to prepare for it
- Where we actually stand: What the Omnibus deferred in the AI Act, and what stayed on the original timeline.
- The liability that already applies: GDPR, employment law, NIS2, documentation. What makes an AI use case legally defensible.
- AI governance that actually works: How to extend your data protection management system to cover AI, who owns AI risk, and how EHS, IT, legal and HR split the work.
- Where AI can safely help: The low-risk, high-value use cases worth starting with.
- denxpert enhanced with AI: What the platform does today, and what is coming next.

The regulatory picture: the EU AI Act, GDPR, and the EHS side of it
Parts of the EU AI Act already apply. The prohibited practices and the AI literacy obligation have been in force since February 2025, and the transparency duties since August 2026. Obligations for high-risk systems land later, at the end of 2027, but that is preparation time rather than relief: those are largely the same systems companies are deploying right now. GDPR, meanwhile, applies in full to any solution that processes worker data.
And EHS almost always sits at the most sensitive intersection: it handles worker data, it monitors for safety reasons, and it produces documentation that may be relied on in front of a regulator. That is why a well-intentioned, safety-improving AI solution often falls under several sets of rules at once.
AI in denxpert
At the end of the session we will show how this works in practice. denxpert AI runs in a closed environment on our own AI setup, so your data stays inside your denxpert system, and answers draw on the EHS knowledge base we have been building for over 20 years.
What you will take away
Practical orientation on the current regulatory picture: which obligations actually reach an EHS function, what to document now, how to extend an existing data protection management system to cover AI, and which use cases deliver measurable value in the short term.
Who should join
EHS and compliance leaders, data protection and legal professionals, IT decision-makers and sustainability managers who are introducing or running AI-enabled systems and want a clear view of what is required, what is recommended, and what is prohibited.
