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

26 July 2026Kimi K3 open weights (27 July): self-hosting avoids China transfer, licence still unclear

On 27 July 2026, Moonshot AI published the full open weights of Kimi K3 (2.8 trillion parameters, 1M-token context) on Hugging Face. Self-hosting on EU infrastructure sidesteps the GDPR data transfer problem of the hosted API (servers in China, no SCCs published). Point of attention: the final licence terms were not yet published at launch (26 July), Kimi K2 carried commercial restrictions above a certain usage scale. Verify the licence before production use. Infrastructure requirement: approx. 1.4 TB of storage, 350–400 GB of GPU memory with MXFP4 quantisation. source

16 July 2026Kimi K3: no opt-out for model training, data processed in China

At the launch of Kimi K3 (16 July 2026), Moonshot AI's privacy policy states that user content may be used for model training and optimisation, with no in-product opt-out. API calls via platform.moonshot.ai are processed on servers in China; an adequacy decision or SCCs are not explicitly documented. For EU organisations: do not enter personal data until Moonshot publishes a GDPR-compliant set-up. Self-hosting on EU infrastructure (open weights available from around 27 July 2026) avoids the transfer problem. source
