Commission guidelines on prohibited AI practices

Published on | 1 month ago

Programmes Digital, Industry & Space AI, data & cloud Deployment: Best use of technologies

The 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.
