Raquel Garc\u00eda Hermida-Van Der Walle<\/strong> (RE) denounced that the Dutch research institute TNO and the technology company Vicarvision have developed a lie detector that could help border guards determine whether a person is telling the truth. “The AI-driven tool, funded under Horizon Europe, looks for non-verbal cues in individuals being questioned, such as whether the person being checked blinks, makes hand movements, leans forwards or backwards, and how they laugh,\u201d she noted.<\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/p>\nThis incident raises questions about today\u2019s Europe and the shifting boundaries of ethics and values. Brunner\u2019s response offers confirmation: \u201cInvesting in European civil security research helps European authorities to have effective,
\n<\/strong>trustworthy and compliant EU technologies to protect the EU and its citizens, <\/strong>\u201d he said.<\/span><\/span> Then comes the clarification: \u201cFunding research
\ndoes not imply their deployment.<\/strong>\u201d<\/span><\/span> In this specific case, the Commissioner for Migration adds, \u201cEU-funded research allowed a better
\nunderstanding of the limitations and reliability of the technologies in question and to draw policy
\nconclusions.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/p>\nToday’s EU essentially operates as follows: the Commission allocates funds, which governments then use to develop what is deemed beneficial for national security, which remains the competence of the Member States. Consequently, oversight is minimal. In the specific case of the EU executive, guardian of the Treaties, it ensures that, ultimately, everything is used in accordance with the common rules. As Brunnner explains, \u201cwhile the Commission has not funded and is not funding projects specifically developing \u2018lie
\ndetectors\u2019 for use in border checks, EU funds are used to support research for Member States
\nauthorities to effectively and efficiently implement the obligations set out in, among others, the
\nSchengen Borders Code.<\/strong>\u201d If the lie detector enables the Schengen Borders Code to be implemented, then it is welcome.<\/p>\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
