In this presentation, Iris Eisenberger will address how the AI-Act claims to safeguard fundamental rights, democracy and the rule of law. Upon closer examination of special provisions in the AI-Act, such as those for high-risk AI systems, her analysis shows that the AI-Act in fact intensifies the technologization of border control. In doing so, it undermines the very objectives the act wants to achieve, and will effectively erode democratic principles, including protections of the liberal subject.
