ProgrammesThe European Commission has published guidelines on prohibited artificial intelligence (AI) practices, as defined by the EU AI Act. The guidelines provide an overview of AI practices that are considered unacceptable due to their potential risks to European values and fundamental rights.
The AI Act, which aims to promote innovation while ensuring high levels of health, safety, and fundamental rights protection, classifies AI systems into different risk categories, including prohibited, high-risk, and those subject to transparency obligations.The guidelines specifically address practices such as harmful manipulation, social scoring, and real-time remote biometric identification.
The guidelines aim to provide a consistent, effective and uniform application of the AI Act. They are non-binding, with authoritative interpretations reserved for the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU). The guidelines provide legal explanations and practical examples to help stakeholders understand and comply with the AI Act's requirements.
It is important to note that at this stage, the Commission has approved the draft guidelines, but not yet formally adopted them.
The guidelines can be found on the Commission website.

Funded under Horizon Europe (HORIZON-INFRA-2022-TECH-01) and running from 2023 to 2026, the ANERIS project aims to tackle the rapid loss of ocean biodiversity. The project’s main objective is to develop, test and implement the next generation of scientific instrumentation tools and methods for sensing and monitoring marine-life. Another key concept of the project is the introduction of the concept of Operational Marine Biology (OMB) as a biodiversity information system. The project consortium consists of 25 partners from 13 countries. Read more about the project and the contribution of Flemish partner VLIZ in this testimonial.
