This is the proposal by the Parliament’s competent committees to change the Commission’s original proposal on “Harmonised rules on Artificial Intelligence”; members of these committees will next vote on compromises based on the proposed amendments, following which the text will be voted on in plenary (likely not before the end of 2022). As a member of the LIBE committee, I made sure that a strong ban on biometric mass surveillance will be considered. This is a demand I have consistently been making throughout my mandate, but the need and urgency for such a ban became even clearer this month, after I met with Alexander Isavnin. Alexander is a Russian Pirate living near Moscow. In the context of a discussion about Russia’s crackdown on pro-peace activists in the context of the war on Ukraine, he unfolded for me the development of facial recognition systems in Russia.
