Embedding Respect for Fundamental Rights in Artificial Intelligence for Policing and Law Enforcement
Joanna Goodey

As there are many different fields of application for AI driven technologies, including law enforcement, as well as differences in the scale and impact on people, using AI systems implicates a wide spectrum of fundamental rights. Therefore, it is crucial that the application of AI (and its future regulation) is firmly grounded in respect for fundamental rights. Since 2019, FRA has produced a series of reports assessing the fundamental rights implications of AI and big data, and has repeatedly underlined that only a rights-based approach guarantees a high level of protection against the possible misuse of new technologies. During the presentation, reference will be made to the findings of FRA’s published research, alongside the Agency’s on-going and future research in the field of AI - which includes the area of law enforcement.
