Ahead of the Artificial Intelligence Act in the European Parliament on 14 June, we’re calling on MEPs to protect fundamental rights. Here’s how to do so.
MEPs should vote to:
- Uphold fundamental rights protections introduced by the committees
- Ban mass surveillance practices, including Remote Biometric Identification and social scoring
- Introduce a strong complaints and representation system
- Protect migrants and refugees from harmful and discriminatory technologies
- Introduce transparency requirements on the environmental impacts of AI systems
In order to achieve these aims, MEPs should vote:
