I thank the witnesses for the presentations and their work. I will start with the DFI. I was interested in the comment about the AI Act aligning with the UNCRPD. Is that actually happening in reality? A footnote to the presentation states that Recital 96 of the EU AI Act stipulates that deployers of high-risk AI systems, especially public bodies or private entities providing public services, must conduct a fundamental rights impact assessment before using the AI system, but AI is being used. Have those fundamental rights impact assessments taken place?
