EU Commission establishes guidelines for prohibited AI practices under AI Act, effective February 2025. Prohibitions include harmful manipulation, exploitation of vulnerabilities, social scoring, predictive criminal assessments, untargeted facial data scraping, emotion recognition, biometric categorization, and real-time remote biometric identification. Guidelines aim to clarify compliance and foster uniform application of the Act across the EU, though they are non-binding. Providers and deployers are responsible for ensuring AI systems meet regulations.
