Report highlights high-risk AI impact on fundamental rights
04/12/2025 | EU Agency for Fundamental Rights
A new report by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) found that while artificial intelligence (AI) offers economic opportunities, it also poses significant risks to fundamental rights, particularly in sensitive areas such as recruitment and social benefits. Based on interviews, the report reveals that many individuals and organisations involved with high-risk AI systems do not know how to systematically assess or mitigate these risks. The FRA concludes that strengthening awareness and ensuring the rights-compliant implementation of the AI Act is crucial for protecting people's rights while fostering innovation and creating legal certainty for businesses.
