Processes for the Ethical Use of High-Risk AI Systems in Civil Security
This handbook provides guidance on ethical and legal responsibilities associated with the use of high-risk AI systems in the EU civil security domain, focusing on use cases in border control, policing, and immigration. The aims of the handbook are to provide a structured pathway for engaging and understanding deployer responsibilities as outlined in the AI Act, focusing on high-risk AI systems, and to help establish processes for the ethical use of AI solutions.
To address these aims the handbook is composed of two main sections. Chapter 2 provides an overview of deployer responsibilities as outlined under the AI Act focusing on Article 26 and Article 27. Chapter 3 provides a series of practical exercises to reflect on ethical issues associated with the use AI systems. These exercises will help you to map and design processes for the ethical use of AI solutions. This includes 3 Exercises to support the development of processes for the ethical adoption and use of high-risk AI systems.
Exercise 1 supports the mapping of processes to operationalise human oversight. Process mapping visually displays a series of events or steps that occur within a given process.
Exercise 2 presents a fictionalised case study designed to support reflection on the reciprocal relationship between providers and deployers, the management of shared responsibilities, and the role of instructions for use.
Exercise 3 is designed to explore the conditions that can increase or decrease the likelihood of Reasonably Foreseeable Misuse when adopting and deploying high-risk AI systems.
The Exercises innovate existing research in the domain by providing practical templates and instructions for use, as well as adjusting their application to the context of high-risk AI system adoption and use in EU civil security. The guidelines on Article 26 and Article 27 are novel. The handbook is not intended to provide a prescriptive set of instructions on how to achieve compliance with the AI Act. Instead, the goal is to support informed decision making by promoting critical engagement, reflection, and continuous learning among practitioners operating in civil security contexts.
