AI and
Fundamental Rights

AI systems are transforming society but also pose risks to
fundamental rights that require careful attention.

The lack of transparency
in the operation of algorithms can result in privacy breaches, discrimination, and freedom violation.

In the absence of appropriate procedures and safeguards, sensitive personal data may be illegitimately used for algorithm training or other forms of automated processing.

Autonomous AI decision-making without human oversight can compromise accountability and dignity. It is therefore essential to assess and mitigate these risks to ensure that AI advancements respect and protect core human rights while delivering their many benefits.

Understanding and managing these risks is crucial to foster human-centred AI innovation that respects fundamental rights and supports societal fairness.

A balanced approach is essential for harnessing the potential of AI technologies in ways
that protect and promote the values that underpin a just society.
