This report emphasises that autonomous platforms and edge computing technologies have potential implications for fundamental rights, both positive and negative. Concerns may arise regarding data privacy and data protection as autonomous platforms gather vast amounts of personal information, while edge computing could introduce challenges to the security and control of data at the network’s edge. To ensure the responsible use and to manage risks, it is essential to establish transparency, safeguards, and ethical frameworks. This requires thorough consideration of the implications involved and active engagement of stakeholders to mitigate any potential negative impact on fundamental rights. Balancing technological advancements while safeguarding fundamental rights and data privacy standards requires mechanisms that would help ensure transparency, accountability, and the empowerment of individuals over their data.
