Open letter: the German government should stand up for a strong ban on biometric surveillance in the Council of EU negotiations regarding the AI Act
AlgorithmWatch and 23 other civil society organizations are calling on the German government to stand up in the negotiations on the AI Act and advocate for a strong ban on biometric surveillance as mirrored in its coalition treaty.
The Council of the EU, comprised by the member states, is at full speed towards an agreement on the Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act) and is aiming to reach a general approach by early December. However, the ban in the Act on biometric identification practices which can lead to mass surveillance – in its current form – entails dangerous loopholes and limitations.
