  "bluf": "Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 Article 5 prohibits specific AI practices deemed unacceptable. These include deploying AI systems using subliminal techniques to materially distort a person's behavior in a manner that causes significant harm; exploiting vulnerabilities due to age, disability, or social or economic situation; social scoring by public authorities based on collected social behavior data leading to detrimental treatment; real-time remote biometric identification in publicly accessible spaces for law enforcement purposes, except for narrowly defined objectives such as searching for victims, preventing imminent threats, or investigating serious crimes, with prior judicial authorization; biometric categorization systems inferring sensitive attributes (race, ethnicity, political opinion, etc.); emotion recognition in workplaces and educational institutions; and untargeted scraping of facial images from the internet or CCTV footage to build facial recognition databases. The prohibitions take effect on 2 February 2025. Operators must cease using such prohibited AI systems by that date. Non-compliance can result in administrative fines up to a percentage of total worldwide annual turnover or a fixed amount, whichever is higher, as specified in Article 99. The regulation is directly applicable in all EU member states, with enforcement coordinated by the EU AI Office and national competent authorities.",
