Guidelines on Prohibited AI Practices

Guidelines on Prohibited Artificial Intelligence Practices Established by Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (AI Act)

This guidance provides practical explanations of prohibited AI practices under the AI Act. It covers bans on AI systems that engage in harmful manipulation, exploit vulnerabilities, conduct social scoring, predict individual criminal behavior, or use biometric categorization in certain contexts. The guidelines clarify the enforcement mechanisms and interplay with high-risk AI systems. They also outline exceptions, such as research activities and national security, and provide criteria for assessing prohibited practices.
