Abstract

. Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based surveillance technologies such as facial recognition, emotion recognition and other biometric technologies have been rapidly introduced by both public and private entities all around the world, raising major concerns about their impact on fundamental rights, the rule of law and democracy. This article questions the efficiency of the European Commission’s Proposal for Regulation of Artificial Intelligence, known as the AI Act, in addressing the threats and risks to fundamental rights posed by AI biometric surveillance systems. It argues that in order to meaningfully address risks to fundamental rights the proposed classification of these systems should be reconsidered. Although the draft AI Act acknowledges that some AI practices should be prohibited, the multiple exceptions and loopholes should be closed, and in addition new prohibitions, in particular to emotional recognition and biometric categorisation systems, should be added to counter AI surveillance practices violating fundamental rights. The AI Act should also introduce stronger legal requirements, such as third-party conformity assessment, fundamental rights impact assessment, transparency obligations as well as enhance existing EU data protection law and the rights and remedies available to individuals, thus not missing the unique opportunity to adopt the first legal framework that truly promotes trustworthy AI. enhance existing data protection rules and promote the rights and remedies of the individuals and groups in the draft AI Act.

质疑欧盟提出的人工智能法案:禁止和更严格的生物识别监控方法的必要性
. 人脸识别、情绪识别等基于人工智能(AI)的监控技术已被世界各地的公共和私营实体迅速引入,引发了人们对其对基本权利、法治和民主的影响的重大担忧。本文质疑欧盟委员会的人工智能监管提案(即人工智能法案)在解决人工智能生物识别监控系统对基本权利构成的威胁和风险方面的效率。它认为,为了有意义地处理对基本权利的风险,应重新考虑对这些制度的拟议分类。尽管人工智能法案草案承认应该禁止一些人工智能做法,但应该填补多个例外和漏洞,此外还应该增加新的禁令,特别是情绪识别和生物识别分类系统,以对抗侵犯基本权利的人工智能监控行为。人工智能法案还应引入更强有力的法律要求,如第三方合格评定、基本权利影响评估、透明度义务,以及加强现有的欧盟数据保护法以及个人可获得的权利和补救措施,从而不错过采用第一个真正促进可信赖人工智能的法律框架的独特机会。加强现有的数据保护规则,促进人工智能法案草案中个人和群体的权利和补救措施。
