Speaker session
Break-out session 1:
Racialised communities and law enforcement
Efficient policing and respect for fundamental rights are complementary. Law enforcement authorities are key actors in ensuring that law is obeyed and that security is ensured. Recognising diversity and ensuring fair law enforcement is essential to fighting racism. However, reports of discrimination are long standing: the FRA has included unlawful profiling and police action in its research. Such discrimination can damage trust in the authorities and lead to other negative outcomes, such as underreporting of crimes and resistance to public authority.
In addition new technologies can bring new challenges to racial equality and non-discrimination. What role will the new AI act regulation play in the use of remote biometric identification, and in particular facial recognition, for law enforcement purposes in public spaces?
