• Emotion recognition in workplace/educational contexts that infringe fundamental rights.
• Biometric categorization aimed at inferring sensitive attributes (ethnicity, political opinions, religious/philosophical beliefs, sexual orientation, etc.).
• Real-time remote biometric identification in publicly accessible spaces, including activities carried out for law enforcement agencies/public authorities.
• Uses resulting in discriminatory outcomes, unlawful algorithmic bias or unjustified differentiated treatment (including unintentional).

Such activities shall collectively constitute the “Prohibited AI Practices”.
