Abstract:This thesis will address the topic of the AIA which is a proposed regulation of high-risk AI and aims at creating a unified AI strategy for the EU. Therefore, current practices using AI technologies, for example in the field of law enforcement and criminal justice, are at risk of disruptions. Hence, it needs to be determined how far-reaching the changes of the AIA are and their potential consequences are. This thesis aims to answer, “To what extend is the Artificial Intelligence Act coherent with the use of AI of Eurojust and what does this imply for Human Rights related to the administration of justice?”. To address this, the thesis outlines the Human Rights in question, the current regulatory framework for AI within Eurojust, the proposed regulation through the AIA as well as how the changes will impact current practices and the impact on Human Rights. It will show that the regulation introduced is mostly geared towards empowering humans vis-à-vis technology which is in line with the democratic ideals of the EU. The analysis will also reveal that the exemptions included in the Act will have impact on various Human Rights which are at stake in the area of law enforcement.
