1/3 As we head into final negotiations on the #AIAct next week, civil society is calling on @EUCouncil to change course and protect our #HumanRights by effectively regulating the use of AI systems by law enforcement.
Read our statement: https://edri.org/our-work/civil-society-statement-council-eu-risks-failing-human-rights-in-the-ai-act/
2/3 The unchecked use of high-risk AI by by law enforcement, migration & national security authorities is dangerous for our #FundamentalRights.
EU lawmakers have an opportunity to make sure that the #AIAct protects people, instead of enabling discriminatory #MassSurveillance.
3/3 Council representatives must ensure that the AI Act includes:
BANS on harmful uses of AI like #PredictivePolicing & public #FacialRecognition
Public transparency when police, migration & security agencies use high-risk AI
NO blanket exemptions for national security
