The European Commission just launched its Regulation on a European approach for Artificial Intelligence. Unfortunately, the new proposal falls short of meeting the minimum requirements needed to safeguard human rights in the EU.

Sign this European Citizens’ Initiative to urge EU lawmakers to put a stop to harmful, discriminatory biometric mass surveillance practices.

Artificial intelligence and automated decision-making systems threaten our fundamental rights. Yet the EU is considering an approach to AI regulation that would substitute rights-based protections for a mere risk mitigation exercise by corporations with a vested interest in these systems. Here’s why that’s a grave mistake.

Access Now and European Digital Rights explain why we need a bold, bright-line approach to regulating AI — not more AI ethics guidelines and soft law — to protect our fundamental rights.

Augmented reality games like Mario Kart Live Home Circuit are lots of fun, but applications of AR technology raise serious concerns for privacy and other fundamental rights.

Debunking AI myths may help us avoid blind techno-solutionism, to craft evidence-based public policy that supports AI uptake only when machine-learning systems are actually fit-for-purpose, and center and respect people and their rights.

As AI-powered facial recognition systems are deployed around the world, it is imperative to ensure they do not facilitate human rights violations, especially of people and communities already at risk.
