The European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) is the EU's centre of fundamental rights expertise. Safeguarding fundamental rights in today's information society is a key issue for the EU and increasing for FRA as more and more people use information and communications technology (ICT) in their daily lives at work and at home.

We work across a range of issues, including:

• Artificial intelligence and big data
• Data protection and privacy
• Hate speech and hate crime
• Interoperability
• Preventing unlawful profiling
