Rights harm from biometric-identification AI
Because remote biometric identification, categorization, or emotion-recognition systems (EU AI Act Annex III(1)) are deployed without conformity assessment, data governance, human oversight, accuracy/robustness controls, or a fundamental-rights impact assessment, they can misidentify, misclassify, or surveil individuals, resulting in wrongful treatment, discrimination, and rights violations.
