Art 5 - Prohibited AI practices (social scoring, biometric categorisation, etc.)

Article 5 of the EU AI Regulation enumerates AI systems that are outright prohibited, including those used for social scoring of individuals, biometric categorisation for discriminatory purposes, real-time remote biometric identification in public spaces, and any system that manipulates human behaviour to cause physical or psychological harm. The article establishes mandatory bans on these practices to safeguard fundamental rights and ensure trustworthy AI deployment across the Union.
