Facial recognition technology (FRT) makes it possible to compare digital facial images to determine whether they are of the same person. Comparing footage obtained from video cameras (CCTV) with images in databases is referred to as ‘live facial recognition technology’. Examples of national law enforcement authorities in the EU using such technology are sparse – but several are testing its potential. This paper therefore looks at the fundamental rights implications of relying on live FRT, focusing on its use for law enforcement and border-management purposes.
As part of the background research for the Agency’s project on ‘Artificial intelligence (AI), Big Data and Fundamental Rights’, FRA has collected information on AI-related policy initiatives in EU Member States and beyond in the period 2016-2020. The collection currently includes about 350 initiatives.

Algorithms used in machine learning systems and artificial intelligence (AI) can only be as good as the data used for their development. High quality data are essential for high quality algorithms. Yet, the call for high quality data in discussions around AI often remains without any further specifications and guidance as to what this actually means.

I denna vägledning förklaras vad profilering innebär, vilken rättslig ram som utgör dess grund och varför en laglig profilering både är nödvändig för att uppfylla de grundläggande rättigheterna och helt avgörande för att effektivisera polisarbetet och gränsförvaltningen. Vägledningen innehåller även praktiska riktlinjer om hur olaglig profilering kan undvikas vid insatser inom polisverksamheten och gränsförvaltningen.

With enormous volumes of data generated every day, more and more decisions are based on data analysis and algorithms. This can bring welcome benefits, such as consistency and objectivity, but algorithms also entail great risks. A FRA focus paper looks at how the use of automation in decision making can result in, or exacerbate, discrimination.

In November 2017, the European Commission requested FRA’s support in evaluating the impact on fundamental rights of the European Border Surveillance System (Eurosur) Regulation. Further to this request, FRA reviewed the work of the European Border and Coast Guard Agency (Frontex) and analysed cooperation agreements concluded by EU Member States with third countries which are relevant for the exchange of information for the purposes of Eurosur. This report presents the main findings of such review.

The year 2017 brought both progress and setbacks in terms of rights protection. The European Pillar of Social Rights marked an important move towards a more ‘social Europe’. But, as experiences with the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights underscore, agreement on a text is merely a first step. Even in its eighth year as the EU's binding bill of rights, the Charter's potential was not fully exploited, highlighting the need to more actively promote its use.

Informations- och kommunikationsteknikens snabba utveckling har gjort att det mer akut behövs ett ordentligt skydd av personuppgifter, en rättighet som garanteras av instrument från både Europeiska unionen (EU) och Europarådet. Att slå vakt om denna betydelsefulla rättighet medför nya och markanta utmaningar, då de tekniska framstegen bryter in på områden som övervakning, avlyssning av kommunikation och datalagring. Den här handboken är utformad för att jurister som inte är specialiserade på dataskydd ska kunna bekanta sig med detta framväxande område inom juridiken.

Civilsamhällesorganisationerna i EU är avgörande för främjandet av grundläggande rättigheter, men deras arbete har försvårats – på grund av både rättsliga och praktiska begränsningar. Det finns utmaningar i alla EU-medlemsstater, men deras exakta natur och omfattning varierar. I allmänhet saknas data och forskning i frågan – däribland jämförande forskning.
FRA:s rapport är därför inriktad på olika typer av och mönster för de utmaningar som det civila samhällets människorättsorganisationer står inför i EU. I rapporten framhävs också
lovande praxis som kan motverka dessa oroande mönster.

I och med de ökande hoten från terrorism, cyberattacker och sofistikerade gränsöverskridande kriminella nätverk har underrättelsetjänsternas arbete blivit allt viktigare, komplexare och mer internationellt. Deras arbete kan allvarligt kränka de grundläggande rättigheterna, särskilt rätten till integritet och skydd för personuppgifter. Medan de ständiga tekniska framstegen potentiellt förvärrar risken för sådana kränkningar, kan en effektiv tillsyn och effektiva rättsmedel hindra möjligheterna till missbruk.
