   1/5 🚨 Today, with @europarl_en's final plenary vote, the EU has inched one step closer to the formal adoption of the long-awaited #AIAct.

   However, civil society is not satisfied with the outcome because the #AIAct missed the mark when it comes to protecting our #HumanRights 🙅♀️

     2/5 Despite tireless advocacy from civil society, the #AIAct is riddled with:

     ❌ bans on dangerous AI that are as hole-filled as Swiss cheese
     ❌ double-standards for police, migration and security agencies
     ❌ many loopholes

     It's clear: this is NOT a law that puts people first.

     3/5 🚨 The #AIAct especially fails to protect people on the move and migrants.

     In fact, it enables police and migration control to use harmful #surveillance tech against them.

     4/5 What now? 🤔

     Stay tuned! Over the coming months, a broad coalition of rights and justice groups will be sharing our vision for how we can squeeze as many positives from the #AIAct as possible.

     ✊🏾 This is the end of one chapter in our AI work, and the beginning of the next!
