The article explores the importance of leadership in the integrating data protection principles into strategies and decision-making processes regarding the use of Artificial Intelligence. Emphasis is placed on the importance of managerial responsibility, organizational culture, and ethical data governance. The paper argues that leadership is a determining factor in transforming legal obligations into real and sustainable protection of personal data in the digital age.
