AI systems providing social scoring of natural persons by public or private
actors may lead to discriminatory outcomes and the exclusion of certain groups. They may violate
the right to dignity and non-discrimination and the values of equality and justice. Such AI
systems evaluate or classify natural persons or groups thereof on the basis of multiple data
points related to their social behaviour in multiple contexts or known, inferred or predicted
personal or personality characteristics over certain periods of time. The social score obtained
from such AI systems may lead to the detrimental or unfavourable treatment of natural persons or
whole groups thereof in social contexts, which are unrelated to the context in which the data
was originally generated or collected or to a detrimental treatment that is
disproportionate or unjustified to the gravity of their social behaviour. AI systems entailing
such unacceptable scoring practices and leading to such detrimental or unfavourable outcomes
should therefore be prohibited. That prohibition should not affect lawful evaluation practices
of natural persons that are carried out for a specific purpose in accordance with Union and
national law.
