Supporting equality bodies in their use of AI

On 5 February, FRA took part in a seminar in Helsinki organised by the Council of Europe and the Finnish Non-discrimination Ombudsman. The event was part of a EU-Council of Europe funded technical support project on upholding equality and non-discrimination by equality bodies regarding the use of artificial intelligence in public administrations.

The project is expected to strengthen the administrative capacity of the equality bodies of Belgium, Finland, and Portugal. 

It also aims to increase their readiness to prevent discrimination in public administration’s deployment and use of artificial intelligence.
