Today, Homo Digitalis publishes its third study on Regulation 2024/1689, the now widely known AI Act, titled “AI Act: Analysis of the Provisions on Prohibited Practices under Article 5 of Regulation 2024/1689.”
The study’s authors are Sofia Antonopoulou, Lamprini Gyftokosta, Tania Skrapalioti, Eleftherios Chelioudakis, and Stavroula Chousou.
This analysis systematically examines each provision of Article 5 of the AI Act, covering manipulative or deceptive techniques, exploitation of vulnerabilities, social behavior scoring, facial recognition databases, crime prediction, emotion inference, biometric categorization systems, and remote biometric identification.
We provide targeted questions highlighting key aspects of these provisions, identifying “gray areas” where ambiguities, overlaps, or interpretative challenges arise. Additionally, we present concrete examples to support our concerns and formulate specific questions for clarification by the European Commission’s AI Office and national legislators.
Like our previous studies (published in October and November 2024), this study aims to assist the Ministry of Digital Governance in implementing the AI Act in Greece. Through in-depth analysis and well-founded arguments, we seek to enrich public debate and empower more civil society organizations to engage actively.
