Updated Fundamental Rights Impact Assessment released!
We are happy to announce that we have released an updated version of the ALIGNER Fundamental Rights Impact Assessment, which is now fully in line with the requirements of the EU AI Act. Specifically, the AFRIA now complied with Article 27 of the Act, which obliges Law Enforcement Agencies ti conduct a Fundamental Rights Impact Assessment of high-risk AI systems.
What’s the AFRIA?
On behalf of Project ALIGNER, KU Leuven Centre for IT & IP Law (CiTiP) and CBRNE Ltd have jointly developed the ALIGNER Fundamental Rights Impact Assessment (AFRIA), a tool addressed to LEAs who aim to deploy AI systems for law enforcement purposes within the EU. The AFRIA is a reflective exercise, seeking to further enhance LEAs’ already existing legal and ethical governance systems, by assisting them in building and demonstrating compliance with ethical principles and fundamental rights while deploying AI systems.
The AFRIA consists of two connected and complementary templates:
- The Fundamental Rights Impact Assessment template, which helps LEAs identify and assess the impact of their AI systems on those fundamental rights most likely to be infringed; and
- The AI System Governance template, which helps LEAs identify the relevant ethical standards for trustworthy AI and mitigate the impact on fundamental rights.”
