Risking Fundamental Rights The Myriad Ways of Risk in EU Law and Policy
summary
Argues that EU law now treats everything as calculable risk—GDPR risk standard gives rise to DPIA/FRIA, DSA adds systemic risks, AI Act spans from self‑replicating AI to banned uses—yet enforcement lets private tools (Palantir, predictive analytics, biometric Eurodac systems) drive border policing and automated asylum screening. Cites I‑border control avatar tests, Centaur‑style detention tech, and German constitutional court interventions as evidence that risk framing expands surveillance, obscures harms to migrants, and shifts political choices into technical standards.
