Artificial intelligence is here. It’s not going away. It can be a force for good, but it needs to be watched so carefully in terms of respect for our human fundamental rights. The EU Fundamental Rights Agency is deeply committed to this work.Our ambition is not just to ensure that AI respects our rights, but also that it protects and promotes them.
Will AI revolutionise the delivery of our public services? And what's the right balance? How is the private sector using AI to automate decisions — and what implications
might that have? Are some form of binding rules necessary to monitor and regulate the use of AI technology - and what should these rules look like?
How do we embrace progress while protecting our fundamental rights? As data-driven decision making increasingly touches our daily lives, what does this mean
for our fundamental rights? A step into the dark? Or the next giant leap? The time to answer these questions is here and now. Let’s seize the opportunities, but understand the challenges. Let’s make AI work for everyone in Europe…And get the future right.

FRA Director, Michael O’Flaherty, delivers his opening remarks during the joint FRA / German Presidency of the EU online conference on 'Doing AI the European way: Protecting fundamental rights in an era of artificial intelligence' on 14 December 2020.
Ob es darum geht, die Verbreitung von COVID-19 nachzuvollziehen oder zu entscheiden, wer Sozialleistungen erhält – künstliche Intelligenz (KI) greift in das Leben von Millionen von Europäerinnen und Europäern ein. Automatisierung kann zu einer besseren Entscheidungsfindung beitragen. KI kann aber auch zu Fehlern und Diskriminierung führen, gegen die man schwer vorgehen kann. Ein neuer Bericht der Agentur der Europäischen Union für Grundrechte (FRA) zeigt: Selbst bei Organisationen, die KI bereits nutzen, besteht Verunsicherung, welchen Einfluss KI auf die Rechte der Menschen hat. Die FRA fordert von politischen Entscheidungsträgern auf, mehr Leitlinien dazu bereitzustellen, wie die bestehenden Vorschriften auf KI anzuwenden sind, und dafür zu sorgen, dass künftige Rechtsvorschriften im Bereich der KI die Grundrechte schützen.
