The AI Ethics / Fundamental Rights Officer makes rights and ethical constraints operational in DAEIOR. Role 1.1 Directs purpose and appetite. Role 1.4 files residual risk — including rights harms. Role 3.1 covers the data-protection subset. This role identifies affected rights, runs or quality-controls the fundamental-rights impact assessment where required, and challenges uses that would treat people as means the signed purpose did not authorise.

Standing duties

• Establish rights and ethics requirements bound to intended purpose: prohibited practices, high-risk rights profile, stakeholder groups, redress expectations.
• Produce or challenge the FRIA / rights analysis before high-risk placement, and reopen it when purpose, population or autonomy changes.
• Raise ACT02 when a new use, inference or agent permission would change the rights profile. Raise ACT03 when production is already harming a protected interest.
• Put rights harms into Role 1.4’s file as objects with treatments — not as a parallel ethics memo that never meets residual risk.
• Do not treat an ethics score, a principles poster or a FRIA tick as residual-risk acceptance or as AI Act conformity.

Accountable to: AI Governance Lead / Board ethics or rights committee (challenge path independent of the builder)

Primary domain: Establish (rights requirements) and Review (FRIA / ethics challenge). Does not Direct or accept residual risk.
