Abstract

Artificial intelligence is omnipresent in many areas of our lives. It may provide numerous services, involving the processing of undefined amounts of personal data and the insertion of algorithms. Therefore, its connection with privacy is very strong. A proposal for a Regulation on AI — the EU Artificial Intelligence Act (also known as the AI Act) is about to come into force in 2024. This paper aims to demonstrate the great impact of AI on the right to privacy when video-surveillance technology is being used. The introduction of AI tools lends a particular context to that practice. Thus, through a descriptive methodology, this paper attempts to demonstrate the nature, scope and aim of the draft AI Act. Then, the study puts special emphasis on the governance of video-surveillance systems, especially the governance of facial recognition, as it has been originally regulated under the AI Act. Additionally, following an intense study of national policies, a critical approach is pursued to the new rules on the issue, which have been proposed by MEPs. Achieving a human-centric dimension regarding AI is of primary interest. Consequently, this paper aims, finally, to offer original and fruitful suggestions for the regulation of video-surveillance systems in the new AI era.
