FTFY: AI that attempts to predict people committing crimes.

By "appearance" are they talking about a guy wearing a hoodie must be a hacker or are we talking about race/colour/religious garb etc?

I'd rather they just didn't use it for any kind of criminal application at all if I have a say in it!

Just my $0.02

The actual wording is: "based solely on the profiling of a natural person or on assessing their personality traits and characteristics".

The Techcrunch article oversimplifies and is borderline misleading.

Instead of relying on Techcrunch and speculating, you could read sections (33), (42), and (59) of the EU AI Act yourself.

There was a joke:

- Could you tell from an image if a man is gay?

- Depending on what he is doing.

It will be hard to gauge this too if it's all just vectors?
