Artificial intelligence (AI) already plays a role in deciding what unemployment benefits someone gets, where a burglary is likely to take place, whether someone is at risk of cancer, or who sees that catchy advertisement for low mortgage rates. Its use keeps growing, presenting seemingly endless possibilities. But we need to make sure to fully uphold fundamental rights standards when using AI. This report presents concrete examples of how companies and public administrations in the EU are using, or trying to use, AI. It focuses on four core areas – social benefits, predictive policing, health services and targeted advertising.

On 30 January 2020, the European Parliament requested the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) to prepare a report on these borders.

Die Europäische Menschenrechtskonvention (EMRK) und das Recht der Europäischen Union
bieten einen zunehmend bedeutenden Rahmen für den Schutz der Rechte von Ausländern.
Das Unionsrecht zu Asyl, Grenzen und Einwanderung entwickelt sich in hoher Geschwindigkeit
weiter. Der Umfang der Rechtsprechung des Europäischen Gerichtshofs für Menschenrechte,
insbesondere zu den Artikeln 3, 5, 8 und 13 EMRK, ist beträchtlich. Der Gerichtshof
der Europäischen Union wird immer häufiger aufgefordert, sich zur Auslegung der diesbezüglichen
Bestimmungen des EU-Rechts zu äußern. Die dritte Ausgabe dieses Handbuchs
wurde im Juli 2020 fertiggestellt. Es stellt das Unionsrecht sowie die Rechtsprechung der
beiden europäischen Gerichtshöfe auf verständliche Art und Weise vor.
La Convenzione europea dei diritti dell’uomo (CEDU) e il diritto dell’Unione europea (UE)

Esiste un cospicuo corpus di giurisprudenza formato dalla Corte europea dei diritti

dell’UE e la giurisprudenza delle due corti europee, è rivolto a professionisti legali,
giudici, pubblici ministeri, funzionari dell’immigrazione e organizzazioni non governative
negli Stati membri dell’Unione europea e del Consiglio d’Europa.

Roma and Travellers living in western EU countries are less often in the limelight than those living in central, eastern and southern EU countries. While they represent a smaller proportion of the population in the west, they also face problems with social exclusion, marginalisation and discrimination. These country sheets present findings from the survey conducted by FRA in 2019 covering Roma and Travellers populations in Belgium, France, Ireland, the Netherlands, Sweden and the United Kingdom. The survey included interviews with almost 4,700 Roma and Travellers, collecting information on more than 8,200 individuals living in their households.

The EU Agency for Fundamental Rights has been regularly collecting data on asylum and migration since September 2015.

It addresses fundamental rights concerns between 1 July and 30 September 2020.
The EU Fundamental Rights Agency published in 2019 its report on the ‘Integration of young refugees in the EU’. The report explored the challenges of young people who fled armed conflict or persecution and arrived in the EU in 2015 and 2016. The report is based on 426 interviews with experts working in the area of asylum and integration, as well as 163 interviews with young people, aged 16 to 24, conducted between October 2017 and June 2018 in 15 regions and cities located in six Member States: Austria, France, Germany, Greece, Italy and Sweden. The links on this page provide a summary of the information collected during this period for each country about unaccompanied children turning 18 and the change in people’s legal status once international protection is granted. These two issues had at the time been identified as moments requiring sufficient, consistent and systematic support, particularly from lawyers, social workers and guardians, to ensure successful integration.
