The EU has a general ban on "AI" or any sort of automation making decisions about people who are not aware of the exact criteria those decisions are made about.

That for example spares us from a lot of automatic CV screening as well as law enforcement profiling with AI tools. We do it mostly the old-school way of just having racist / classist cops.
