We move from recognizing the high risk for all uses of AI likely to compromise bahrain mobile database security and fundamental rights to those that present a limited risk .
In this context, all uses that involve cognitive-behavioral manipulation of vulnerable individuals or groups, social classification and finally real-time and remote biometric identification are also defined as unacceptable risks .
