Recital 43

English

The placing on the market, the putting into service for that specific purpose, or the use of AI systems that create or expand facial recognition databases through the untargeted scraping of facial images from the internet or CCTV footage, should be prohibited because that practice adds to the feeling of mass surveillance and can lead to gross violations of fundamental rights, including the right to privacy.

Español

La introducción en el mercado, la puesta en servicio para ese fin concreto o la utilización de sistemas de IA que creen o amplíen bases de datos de reconocimiento facial mediante la extracción no selectiva de imágenes faciales a partir de internet o de imágenes de circuito cerrado de televisión deben estar prohibidas, pues esas prácticas agravan el sentimiento de vigilancia masiva y pueden dar lugar a graves violaciones de los derechos fundamentales, incluido el derecho a la intimidad.
