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.
Du suivi de la propagation de la COVID-19 à la détermination des bénéficiaires des prestations sociales, l’intelligence artificielle (IA) a une incidence sur la vie de millions d’Européens. L’automatisation peut améliorer la prise de décision. Mais l’IA peut conduire à des erreurs, entraîner une discrimination et être difficile à contester. Un nouveau rapport de l’Agence des droits fondamentaux de l’UE (FRA) révèle une certaine confusion quant à l’incidence de l’IA sur les droits des personnes, et ce même parmi les organisations qui l’utilisent déjà. La FRA invite les décideurs politiques à fournir davantage d’indications sur la manière dont les règles existantes s’appliquent à l’IA et à garantir que toute future loi en matière d’IA protège les droits fondamentaux.
