Use cases: Impermissible AI and fundamental rights breaches This briefing has been compiled to assist policymakers in the context of the EU’s regulation on artificial intelligence. It outlines several cases studies across Europe where artificial intelligence is being used in a way that compromises EU law and fundamental rights, and therefore requires a legal prohibition or ban. ugust 2"!" #rave concerns remain as to how artificial intelligence $ I% will impact people& communities and society as a whole. 'ome I systems have the ability to exacerbate surveillance and intrusion into our personal lives& reflect and reinforce some of the deepest societal inequalities& fundamentally alter the delivery of public and essential services& vastly undermine vital data protection legislation& suppress freedoms of expression and assembly& and disrupt the democratic process itself. In European )igital *ights’ explainer& E)*i details some of the implications of I on fundamental rights. In E)*i’s recommendations for a fundamental rights+based regulation on artificial intelligence& E)*i outlines the need for clear legal limits on the uses of AI& legal criteria for& democratic oversight& and the need for a prohibition on impermissable uses of AI E)*i recommends the European Commission draw red+lines for AI, in particular in these areas- • Indiscriminate biometric surveillance and biometric capture and processing in public spaces& including public facial recognition. • use of AI to determine access to or delivery of essential public services !such as social security, policing, migration control"# • uses of I which purport to identify& analyse and assess emotion& mood& behaviour& and sensitive identity traits (such as race& disability% in the delivery of essential services. • predictive policing# • use of AI systems at the border or in testing on marginalised groups, such as undocumented migrants; • autonomous lethal weapons and other uses which identify targets for lethal force $such as law and immigration enforcement%.
