This Sunday, a key feature of the #AIAct will start applying: certain types of #AI systems will be banned in the EU. These are the most controversial, and potentially dangerous, AI systems so it’s important these bans are happening ⬇️

Social scoring using AI is banned. Social scoring is when an AI system evaluates the trustworthiness of an individual based on their social behaviour or their preferences, emotions, health or intelligence.
Then there are broad prohibitions for 1) any AI system which manipulates consumer behaviour, and 2) any AI system that exploits children’s or people’s socio-economic status.
What could fall under these 2 categories will be elucidated by some upcoming Commission guidelines. We believe that companionship apps linked to commercial interests, or emotion recognition apps, should be banned. These can be highly manipulative!
We hope the Commission guidelines will provide more clarity & help protect consumers by banning the use of these types of AI systems, and other manipulative practices.
