Prohibited AI Practices

Summary

Outright bans on AI systems whose risk to fundamental rights is unacceptable: subliminal/manipulative techniques causing harm, exploiting vulnerabilities of specific groups, social scoring by public authorities, predictive policing based solely on profiling, untargeted scraping of facial images for facial-recognition databases, emotion recognition in workplaces and education (with narrow exceptions), biometric categorisation inferring sensitive attributes, and real-time remote biometric identification in publicly accessible spaces for law enforcement (with narrow Annex II exceptions).
