Lipsa de transparenţă şi de reglementare în identificarea biometrică prin intermediul inteligenței artificiale ar putea afecta lupta împotriva criminalității, avertizează Uniunea Europeană

The EU Agency for Fundamental Rights warns that biometric identification using AI could undermine fundamental rights and discriminate against minorities. The report highlights legal gaps and a lack of transparency in the use of such technologies across seven EU countries. It emphasizes the need for clear legal frameworks to regulate AI use, as current laws are insufficient. Public concerns about misuse of data and the chilling effect on democratic freedoms are noted, with many citizens fearing that biometric systems could discourage participation in public demonstrations. The FRA calls for strict guarantees in legislation to ensure responsible use of these technologies.
