Regulate Police AI: Civil Society Letter for Limits on Surveillance Tech in AI Act

Police & migration authorities are increasingly using AI for harmful & discriminatory surveillance. Together with 114 civil society organisations, we are calling on EU lawmakers to regulate such uses & uphold fundamental rights in the AI-Act.

The use of such tech for policing and migration control is dangerous for our fundamental rights, increases harms against already discriminated groups, is invasive and normalises mass surveillance.

We urge EU lawmakers to ensure that the AI-Act prevents harms by including bans on unacceptably risky AI use, public transparency for police use of high-risk AI and regulation of AI use in policing, migration & national security that pose risk to human rights.
