"In the Iliad, whilst bidding farewell to his wife (Andromache), Hector urges her to go within the house and busy herself with her loom, her distaff and the servants, while he returns to the battlefield of Troy, considering that “war is man’s matter”. More recently, this gendered division of roles in times of war has arisen in the field of EU law. In June 2026, the Commission proposed to the Council that it further extend by one year the temporary protection granted in the EU to Ukrainians displaced because of the Russian military invasion. However, unlike previous extensions, this proposal sought to exclude from temporary protection persons “not in compliance with their military obligations as provided for in Ukrainian law”, that is to say: “Ukrainian men in conscription age (25-60 years old) and Ukrainian men who are on the reserve list (23-25 years old)”.

"In dystopian fiction, like Orwell’s 1984, thought criminals get punished for thinking against the state. In such unwanted scenarios, a thought is consciously manifested in people’s behaviour (e.g., ideas written in a diary); and that behaviour is observed by humans (e.g., the thought-police-officers, who would see that diary and catch the thought-criminal). Today, AI-emotion-inferring is taking Orwellian surveillance from the humanly observable to the AI-legible; and from thinking to pre-thinking, the pre- or even unconscious. Emotional surveillance via AI is aimed at interpreting AI-readable data and attributing emotions to them (Bouchagiar). As such, it may entail the black-box-processing of humanly invisible data – like facial micro-patterns that can solely be read by AI – and information consciously or unconsciously disclosed by a person (e.g., fear arising prior to conscious thinking). This post argues that law enforcement’s emotional surveillance via AI has the potential to be..."
