Loi n°001-2021/AN portant protection des données personnelles

Assemblée nationale du Burkina Faso — Burkina Faso applies the toughest AI decision-making regulation among African data protection statutes through Loi n°001-2021/AN of 30 March 2021. Article 15 bars rulings based solely on automated profiling; Article 19 lets citizens question the reasoning behind such processing, forcing disclosure of data categories from collection whenever AI is used. Article 31 requires predictive AI tools to gain prior approval from the Commission de l'informatique et des libertés (CIL) — an automated profiling law benchmark rarely matched elsewhere.

    Method and sources

    Every entry on this page is a named organisation putting AI to work in a real job, taken from the State of Applied AI record. Each one is traced to the report it came from and dated, and where a figure is the organisation’s own the entry says so rather than presenting it as an independent result. Readiness, ecosystem and policy figures, where shown, are attributed on the card to the body that published them.

    The record is maintained continuously by the Industrial Research Unit of the Straits Institute for Applied AI: entries are added as they are found and verified, not on a schedule, and nothing is published without an open source behind it. It currently holds 2923 entries across 249 countries.
