- Report / Paper / Summary4Dezember2025Artificial Intelligence comes with both benefits and risks. Safe AI use that accounts for fundamental rights is thus crucial. While the 2024 EU AI Act was a milestone in this regard, its broad definitions regarding AI systems and high-risk AI could introduce loopholes for fundamental rights compliance. This report offers an empirical basis for much-needed practical guidance on the Act’s implementation. Based on interviews with AI developers, sellers, and users, FRA addresses challenges of its use in critical domains, like asylum, education, and employment. Our findings help guide next steps in realising the AI Act’s potential to
ensure responsible innovation. - Report / Paper / Summary24Mai2023This report provides a partial update on the findings of the 2017 European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) report Surveillance by intelligence services: Fundamental rights safeguards and remedies in the EU.

- Handbook / Guide / Manual25Mai2018Die rasante Entwicklung der Informationstechnologie hat den Bedarf nach einem stabilen
Schutz personenbezogener Daten verschärft, das Recht darauf wird sowohl durch Instrumente
der Europäischen Union (EU) als auch des Europarates geschützt. Der Schutz dieses wichtigen
Rechts steht vor neuen und großen Herausforderungen, da technologische Fortschritte die
Möglichkeiten beispielsweise bei der Überwachung, beim Abfangen von Kommunikation und
bei der Datenspeicherung erweitern. Dieses Handbuch bietet für Angehörige der Rechtsberufe,
die sich im Bereich des Datenschutzes nicht so gut auskennen, eine Einführung in diesen
aufstrebenden Rechtsbereich.
