United Kingdom - Framework for ethics, transparency and accountability in relation to automated decision-making

The UK government recently published a framework around the ethical, transparent and responsible use of automated processing for its public services. As existing guidelines are often long, complex and abstract, it seeks through this framework to provide government staff with clear information and practical steps around automated processing. Besides, the framework is not only applicable to civil servants, but also targets policymakers and ministers.

What: Guidelines

Impact score:

For who: Policy makers, government personnel

Key takeaway for Flanders: There are numerous possible application cases within the government for automated decision-making. Here, it is important to consider carefully in each case whether there is really a need for such processing. If so, it is a matter of good governance to establish clear, public, guidelines for the benefit of both the administration and citizens so that trust in such applications can be confirmed and increased.
