The EU AI Act prohibits certain uses of artificial intelligence (AI). These include AI systems that manipulate people’s decisions or exploit their vulnerabilities, systems that evaluate or classify people based on their social behavior or personal traits, and systems that predict a person’s risk of committing a crime. The Act also bans AI systems that scrape facial images from the internet or CCTV footage, infer emotions in the workplace or educational institutions, and categorize people based on their biometric data. However, some exceptions are made for law enforcement purposes, such as searching for missing persons or preventing terrorist attacks.
