EU issues guidelines clarifying prohibited AI practices under AI Act. Key prohibitions include manipulative techniques, social scoring, risk assessments for crime prediction, untargeted facial image scraping, emotion recognition in certain settings, biometric categorization of sensitive traits, and real-time biometric identification for law enforcement. Guidelines establish legal certainty, refine definitions, and highlight the interplay with existing EU laws. Safeguards for exemptions will require impact assessments on fundamental rights.
