Giorgio Altieri of Tonucci & Partners contributed to Il Riformista with an article related to the legal implications of the draft legislative decree introducing real-time biometric recognition in criminal investigations for major crimes.
The article deals with the fragile balance between public safety requirements and the protection of fundamental rights, focusing on the constitutional aspects and guarantees provided by European legislation on artificial intelligence and personal data protection.
This analysis highlights the necessity of integrating the biometric identification systems with rigorous safeguards of legality, proportionality, and control, so that technological innovation might develop while fully respecting individual freedoms and the principles of the rule of law, potentially affecting third parties who are completely uninvolved in any investigation.
The contribution offers a critical examination of one of the most relevant issues in contemporary discussion, at a crossroads among innovation, justice, and the protection of rights.
