Yet, AI models pose risks to privacy and security, challenging us to define appropriate requirements, as our preliminary findings in the NCER-funded AI LegaLake project suggest. These findings highlight the importance of data protection impact assessments (DPIA) in SMEs. DPIAs are mandatory from the GDPR that help guide the development and design of privacy-preserving systems. Nevertheless, SMEs may not have the required knowledge and capabilities to produce them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this context, the proposed Ontology-Based method for Interdisciplinary Data Protection Impact Assessment (OBI-PIA) aims to offer a lightweight and usable approach for interdisciplinary DPIAs assessment. It leverages ontological domain conceptualization and model-based discussions to bridge computer science, legal studies, and policy on data protection.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-spacer is-spacer-size-md\"><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"organisation-and-partners\"\n    >\nOrganisation and partners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT)<\/strong><br><strong>Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance (FDEF)<\/strong><br><strong>Institute for Advanced Studies (IAS)<\/strong><br><strong>European Commission<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"py-48 first:pt-0 last:pb-0 wp-block-unilux-blocks-people-list\">\n    \n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"project-team\"\n    >\nProject team<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"flex flex-wrap -mx-16 wp-block-unilux-blocks-people-item-wrapper\">\n    <li class=\"w-full md:w-1\/2 p-16 wp-block-unilux-blocks-people-item-automated\"><div class=\"ulux-card card-people bg-theme\"><div class=\"list-people bg-theme\">\n    <div class=\"list-people__container\">\n        <div class=\"list-people__visual\">\n            <figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image\">\n                <!-- Template Image Component: default -->\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"w-full\" width=\"\" height=\"\" rel=\"\" alt=\"Dr. Claudia NEGRI RIBALTA\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/en\/person-image\/NTAwNzMyNzVfX0NsYXVkaWEgTkVHUkkgUklCQUxUQQ==\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/en\/person-image\/NTAwNzMyNzVfX0NsYXVkaWEgTkVHUkkgUklCQUxUQQ==--thumbnail 150w,https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/en\/person-image\/NTAwNzMyNzVfX0NsYXVkaWEgTkVHUkkgUklCQUxUQQ==--medium 300w,https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/en\/person-image\/NTAwNzMyNzVfX0NsYXVkaWEgTkVHUkkgUklCQUxUQQ==--medium_large 768w,https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/en\/person-image\/NTAwNzMyNzVfX0NsYXVkaWEgTkVHUkkgUklCQUxUQQ==--large 1024w,https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/en\/person-image\/NTAwNzMyNzVfX0NsYXVkaWEgTkVHUkkgUklCQUxUQQ==--1536x1536 1536w,https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/en\/person-image\/NTAwNzMyNzVfX0NsYXVkaWEgTkVHUkkgUklCQUxUQQ==--2048x2048 2048w\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><!-- end Image Component -->\n            <\/figure>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"list-people__body\">\n            <h3 class=\"list-people__title\">Dr. Claudia NEGRI RIBALTA<\/h3>\n            <p class=\"list-people__description\">Postdoctoral researcher &#8211; ULIDE<\/p>\n            <div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-simple-cta wp-block-unilux-blocks-people-item-automated\">\n    <a\n        href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fhse-en\/people\/claudia-negri-ribalta\/\"\n        title=\"Dr. Claudia NEGRI RIBALTA\"\n        class=\"link-text link-text--icon list-people__link link-absolute\"\n        target=\"\"\n    >\n        <span class=\"link-text__body\">\n            <span class=\"link-text__name\">Learn more<\/span>\n        <\/span>\n        <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-outline icon--arrow-right \"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/themes\/unilux-theme\/assets\/images\/icons\/icons-outline.svg#icon--arrow-right\"><\/use><\/svg>    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/li><li class=\"w-full md:w-1\/2 p-16 wp-block-unilux-blocks-people-item-automated\"><div class=\"ulux-card card-people bg-theme\"><div class=\"list-people bg-theme\">\n    <div class=\"list-people__container\">\n        <div class=\"list-people__visual\">\n            <figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image\">\n                <!-- Template Image Component: default -->\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"w-full\" width=\"\" height=\"\" rel=\"\" alt=\"Assoc.
