1/5 The final EU Parliament position on #AIAct is here
Some wins for #FundamentalRights but also missed opportunities to protect and empower people.
Read our statement: https://edri.org/our-work/eu-parliament-plenary-ban-of-public-facial-recognition-human-rights-gaps-ai-act/
2/5 What are we celebrating:
strong fundamental rights protections
red lines on unacceptably risky AI systems like predictive policing, emotion recognition and biometric categorisation
ban on ALL live facial recognition / biometric identification in public spaces
3/5 Missed opportunities to:
protect the rights of migrants, refugees and asylum seekers from discriminatory surveillance using AI systems
increase protections when it comes to empowering people affected by the use of AI
4/5 We're proud of the wins achieved by @reclaimyourface campaign!
Thanks to a diverse civil society coalition, 250,000+ supporters and MEPs willing to listen to our voices!
5/5 We're keeping our eyes on the three-way negotiations between @EU_Commission , @europarl_en and @EUCouncil.
We'll keep pushing for a fundamental-rights focused, people-first #AIAct!
