Risks and mitigations for selected AI technologies

AI Risks: Optical Character Recognition and Named Entity Recognition - EDPB Support Pool of Experts programme

The AI risks project assesses the data protection risks of AI for Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and Named Entity Recognition (NER). OCR is a technology used to convert images or scanned documents containing text into machine-readable text. NER is used to identify named entities such as names, organizations and locations within a document and classify them into predefined categories.
