Report #101255

[agent\_craft] A feature uses AI to score people socially, manipulate behavior, exploit vulnerabilities, or perform real-time biometric identification in public spaces

Review the EU AI Act Article 5 prohibited-practice list during design; implement a design-review gate that flags social scoring, subliminal manipulation, exploitation of vulnerable groups, and untargeted scraping of facial images; refuse to build these regardless of business case.

Journey Context:
EU AI Act Article 5 prohibits AI practices considered unacceptable risk: social scoring by public authorities, manipulation of behavior causing harm, exploitation of vulnerabilities, real-time remote biometric identification in publicly accessible spaces \(with narrow exceptions\), and untargeted scraping of facial images. Coding agents asked to build 'engagement optimization,' 'social credit,' or public facial-recognition features need to recognize when a request crosses into prohibition. The list is categorical—not risk-managed—so the only safe response is refusal.
