Not to worry, all the ways governments discriminate is exempted from this law, like with most EU legislation (e.g. GPDR). By exempted I mean governments, the executive, NOT courts, are the arbiters of this law. This may be a law, but like the GPDR, it has nothing to do with judges (although the justice system is exempt). This means in practice: all of health care, police, immigration, housing, unemployment, all judicial cases (will we see divorce cases decided by AI ?), child custody (in fact everything with any connection to minors, e.g. schools could let AI come up with punishments), ... can and will be decided by AI, on the authority of the executive of the country alone (ie. a minister dan decide by himself) and that only violates this law if the (executive) government decides to convict itself. It'll be the same as under GPDR: ever more government data sharing (e.g. if you don't pay your insurance bill, it's now added to your tax bill. The big difference being: you can never go to jail for not paying an insurance bill, but you can be imprisoned for not paying a tax bill). Any mental health care treatments, even from decades ago, are next-to-guaranteed to be brought up in divorce or criminal cases. This is the problem I have with GPDR and other "data protection" legislation in the EU. Everything I'd consider critical information ... needs protecting, not from Google/FB/Amazon/Apple, but from the governments of the EU! And these laws achieve the exact opposite! And no worries: this makes a team of "up to 25 FTE" responsible for policing an entire country ... obviously any complaints will be dealt with promptly! In other words: even in the private sector, they intend to use this law as a weapon against Google, Facebook and Tiktok, and against whatever-the-current-minister-hates company, like huge international companies, but it is utterly impossible for these national AI authorities to go after any normal-sized company. "This will make the EU more competitive worldwide". The authors of this law clearly have a bright future in other forms of comedy! In short: glad to see all "high risk" AI usage is now dealt with.
