Getting the Future Right: Artificial Intelligence and Fundamental Rights
FRA | Published in 2020
This report presents concrete examples of how companies and public administrations in the EU are using, or trying to use, AI. It discusses the potential implications for fundamental rights and shows whether and how those using AI are taking rights into account. FRA interviewed just over a hundred public administration officials, private company staff, as well as diverse experts – including from supervisory and oversight authorities, non-governmental organisations and lawyers – who variously work in the AI field. Based on these interviews, the report analyses how fundamental rights are taken into consideration when using or developing AI applications. It focuses on four core areas – social benefits, predictive policing, health services and targeted advertising. The AI uses differ in terms of how complex they are, how much automation is involved, their potential impact on people, and how widely they are being applied. The findings underscore that a lot of work lies ahead – for everyone.
