European Parliament

To respect privacy and human dignity, MEPs ask for a permanent ban on the automated recognition of individuals in public spaces, noting that citizens should only be monitored when suspected of a crime. Parliament calls for the use of private facial recognition databases (like the Clearview AI system, which is already in use) and predictive policing based on behavioural data to be forbidden. MEPs also want to ban social scoring systems, which try to rate the trustworthiness of citizens based on their behaviour or personality. (2021) source Unverified
