Ri.02 Treatment of Human Being as Mere Object

 

This risk category covers processing operations in which a person is degraded to an object, in particular by exclusively automated individual decisions (e.g. for settings, credit checks, reliability checks). The Schutzgut is the dignity of the human being. Some would like to recognize "administrative depersonalization" already when no human is involved in decision-making (lack of "human intervention"). However, one will not be able to see a high risk in every use of technology or digitization. It makes sense to demand that further circumstances be added that turn the use of technology or digitization into a degradation.
