What should I watch out for with AI in social domain & youth care?

In the social domain this involves special category personal data (health, debts, family situation, sometimes of children). Never use a free chatbot for conversations or files. Conclude a data processing agreement, require processing within the EU and no training on your data, ask which language models and sub-processors sit behind it, and carry out a DPIA. Ask the resident for consent before you record a conversation, and explain how long the recording and text are kept. Do not let AI itself judge whether someone is entitled to a provision or benefit: the EU AI Act classes systems that determine access to public services as high-risk, and the childcare benefits scandal shows what goes wrong without human checking. Register the application in the Algorithm Register and check every report before it goes into the file.

Latest developments

18 September 2026Plugin4Shell: Google does not patch Gemini CLI and writes off the product

When Plugin4Shell was published on 18 September 2026, it emerged that Google had chosen not to fix the vulnerability in Gemini CLI. On 4 August 2026, Google announced that Gemini CLI is being discontinued and referred users to Antigravity. The result: any remaining Gemini CLI installation with plugins stays permanently vulnerable to zero-click code execution via a modified plugin repository. GDPR relevance: no update-based mitigation is available, so the only defensible measure is to migrate or remove the tool from machines holding personal data, source code or credentials (art. 32 GDPR). This concerns only the CLI tool, not the Gemini API or Gemini in Google Workspace. source
