Artificial intelligence in criminal law and its use by the police and judicial authorities in criminal matters
This own-initiative report concerns artificial intelligence in criminal law and its use by the police and judicial authorities in criminal matters. Amendments debate categorising such AI as high-risk, protecting fundamental rights and data protection, and citing uses such as facial recognition, DNA profiling and predictive policing. Others stress human oversight, a fundamental rights audit and conformity assessment, public procurement requirements, and Member State competence in criminal law.

Plenary votes
6 roll-call votesIn plenary, Parliament usually votes in steps: first on amendments to the text (sometimes split into parts, so Members can accept one half of a sentence and reject the other), then on the text as a whole. The “main vote” is the one that adopts or rejects the text itself. Each vote below shows exactly which step it was. How voting works →
