Artificial Intelligence, Big Data and Fundamental Rights

This project will assess the pros and cons for fundamental rights of using artificial intelligence (AI) and big data for public administration and business purposes in selected EU Member States. It will provide concrete examples of fundamental rights challenges when using algorithms for decision-making (i.e. for machine learning and AI). An aim of the project is to contribute to setting out fundamental rights guidelines and recommendations in these fields. The rapid increase in the use of new technologies has shown there is a need to identify and explain fundamental rights challenges in this area. It can lead to infringements of privacy, data protection and equal treatment, particularly when it comes to the growing use of big data and algorithms through rapid advances in machine learning and AI.
