Recital E
Recital E
E. whereas AI applications may offer great opportunities in the field of law enforcement, in particular in improving the working methods of law enforcement agencies and judicial authorities, and combating certain types of crime more efficiently, in particular financial crime, money laundering and terrorist financing, as well as certain types of cybercrime; while at the same time entailing significant risks for the fundamental rights of people;

Amendment 58 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital G
Recital G
G. whereas AI applications in use by law enforcement include applications such as facial recognition technologies, automated number plate recognition, speaker identification, speech identification, lip-reading technologies, aural surveillance (i.e. gunshot detection algorithms), autonomous research and analysis of identified databases, forecasting (predictive policing and crime hotspot analytics), behaviour detection tools, autonomous tools to identify financial fraud and terrorist financing, social media monitoring (scraping and data harvesting for mining connections), international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) catchers, and automated surveillance systems incorporating different detection capabilities (such as heartbeat detection and thermal cameras); whereas the aforementioned applications have vastly varying degrees of reliability and accuracy as well as potentially significant effects on the protection of fundamental rights;
Amendment 69 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital I
Recital I
I. whereas use of AI in law enforcement entails a number of phigh risks for the protenctial riskon of fundamental rights of individuals, such as opaque decision- making, different types of discrimination, and risks to the protection of privacy and personal data, the protection of freedom of expression and information, and the presumption of innocence;
Amendment 85 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 1 a (new)
Paragraph 1 a (new)
1 a. recalls that the EU has already established data protection standards for law enforcement, which form the foundation for any future regulation in AI; recalls that processing of personal data must be lawful and fair; the purposes of processing must be specified, explicit and legitimate; must be adequate, relevant and not excessive in relation to the purpose for which is it processed; be accurate and kept up to date (inaccurate data should, subject to the purpose for which it would otherwise be retained, be correcte dor erased); should be kept for no longer than is necessary and processed in a secure manner;
Amendment 94 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 2 a (new)
Paragraph 2 a (new)
2 a. notes that the use of biometric data, such as for facial recognition technologies, relates more broadly to the principle of the right to human dignity; human dignity is the basis of all fundamental rights guaranteed by the Charter of Fundamental Rights; The Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU) has confirmed in its case law that the fundamental right to dignity is part of EU law, therefore biometric data, including facial images, must be processed in a way that respects human dignity;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Considers, in this regard, that any AI tool either developed or used by law enforcement or judiciary should, as a minimum, be safe, secure and fit for purpose, respect the principles of data minimisation, fairness, accountability, transparency and explainability, with their deploymentvelopment, deployment and use subject to a strict necessity and proportionality test;
Amendment 115 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Sees with great concern the potential of mass surveillance by means of AI technologies in the law enforcement sector; Highlights the importanceerative need of preventing such mass surveillance by means of AI technologies, and of banning any applications that would result in it;

Paragraph 10
Paragraph 10
10. Underlines that in judicial and law enforcement contexts, the final decision always needs to be taken by a human, who can be held accountable for the decisions made, and include the possibility of a recourse for a remedy; reminds that under EU law, automated individual decision making shall not be based on special categories of personal data (personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, and the processing of genetic data, biometric data for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person, data concerning health or data concerning a natural person's sex life or sexual orientation), unless suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests are in place; highlights that EU law prohibits profiling that results in discrimination against natural persons on the basis of special categories of personal data;
