| Abstract: | Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being employed in virtually every aspect of day-to-day life from text auto-correction to crime prediction. Its potential applications are unimaginable, opening room for social and economic opportunities, but also setting the stage for the emergence of unexpected problems, raising the question of how this technological diffusion affects European law, rights and values. This phenomenon is explored in this thesis by investigating the dilemma European policy makers are faced with when envisioning a market-wide implementation of AI solutions while safeguarding European fundamental rights, law and Union values. By analysing AI-related scientific literature and policy documents it was found that the issues of lacking algorithmic transparency as well as discriminatory and biassed AI challenge rights, values and the General Data Protection Regulation. Furthermore, it was found that policy makers are challenged when attempting to combat this issue in the form of the Artificial Intelligence Act proposal as well as the adoption of a framework for Trustworthy AI, whereas an assessment found that the issues AI poses are not sufficiently catered to as a result of several loopholes and deficient mechanisms. |
