Artificial intelligence and surveillance

Chapter 11 in Handbook of European Union Governance, 2025, pp 156-170 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: In technologically advanced societies, the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and surveillance may revolutionize the way states monitor and analyse individual conduct and respond to security and governance challenges. This chapter explores this new surveillance landscape by placing emphasis on automated policing and immigration control. First, it delineates the legal framework surrounding such AI systems, as shaped by the newly adopted EU Regulation on laying down harmonized rules on AI, known as the AI Act. It showcases the impact of EU policy and regulation on the domestic landscape regarding member-state implementation of surveillance measures. Lastly, it examines how legislative choices in the area of automated law enforcement may intertwine with those in the field of automated migration, asylum, and border control management, given their common denominator, namely the function of AI as a surveillance-enabler that puts fundamental rights under pressure.
