Automated Decision-Making
Legal, Policy & Compliance
The use of AI or algorithmic systems to make decisions about individuals without meaningful human involvement, such as credit scoring, job application screening, or benefit eligibility assessments. Automated decision-making is subject to increasing regulatory scrutiny. Under the EU's GDPR Article 22, individuals have the right to human review and explanation when automated decisions produce legal or similarly significant effects.
