Civil Society Movement Resists Biased AI Systems Across Europe
-
AI and automated decision systems are being widely adopted in Europe, but can perpetuate discrimination and inequality due to biases in the data they are trained on.
-
There is a growing civil society movement across Europe resisting problematic uses of AI, putting pressure on regulators.
-
Activists see AI bias as connected to wider systemic issues in society, not just a technological problem.
-
There is a lack of public awareness about how AI impacts daily life and who is accountable when errors occur.

Legislation like the EU's AI Act aims to regulate AI systems, but some believe only an outright ban on some uses will suffice.
