What it asks for, in the Parliament's words

• Calls on the Commission to assess the AI technology available on the market and the level of use by police and judicial authorities on a country-by-country basis
• Emphasises the importance of AI being used with due respect for the principles of the rule of law and the independence of the judiciary in the decision-making process
• Underlines that the sovereign discretion of judges and case-by-case decision-making have to be upheld in order to avoid the standardisation of decisions based on purely statistical calculations

Quoted from A9-0232/2021, which says more than these lines. Each is a whole paragraph; this site does not rewrite them.
