Retrospective (non-real-time) use of remote biometric ID AIs will be limited to “the targeted search of a person convicted or suspected of having committed a serious crime”.
While real-time use of this intrusive AI tech will be limited in time and location, and can only be used for the following purposes:
targeted searches of victims (abduction, trafficking, sexual exploitation),
prevention of a specific and present terrorist threat, or
the localisation or identification of a person suspected of having committed one of the specific crimes mentioned in the regulation (e.g. terrorism, trafficking, sexual exploitation, murder, kidnapping, rape, armed robbery, participation in a criminal organisation, environmental crime).
