Artificial intelligence (AI)
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to a broad range of processes and technologies enabling computers to complement or replace tasks otherwise performed by humans. Such systems have the ability to exacerbate surveillance and intrusion into our personal lives, reflect and reinforce some of the deepest societal inequalities, fundamentally alter the delivery of public and essential services, undermine vital data protection legislation, and disrupt the democratic process itself. In the face of this, EDRi strives to uphold our fundamental rights, democracy, equality and justice in all legislation, policy and practice related to artificial intelligence.
