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.

Italiano

L'immissione sul mercato, la messa in servizio per tale finalità specifica o l'uso di sistemi di IA che creano o ampliano le banche dati di riconoscimento facciale mediante scraping non mirato di immagini facciali da internet o da filmati di telecamere a circuito chiuso dovrebbero essere vietati, in quanto tale pratica accresce il senso di sorveglianza di massa e può portare a gravi violazioni dei diritti fondamentali, compreso il diritto alla vita privata.
