UK Lords push bill to tame rogue algorithms in public sector www.theregister.com/2024/09/10/u...bills.parliament.uk/bills/3760#AIpolicy#algorithmictransparency#dataprotection#DISDBill -ish

Under Lord Clement-Jones' proposals, if an automated decision affects social security benefits, immigration, or similar, a citizen would have a right to access the information on why the decision was made so that they could challenge it. The proposed bill says public authorities should publish impact assessments of any automated or AI algorithms they use to make decisions, and to keep a transparency register on automated decision making. It also obliges the government to provide an independent dispute resolution service for people who want to challenge any decisions made about them.

(This is a Private Members' Bill, sponsored by Lib Dem peer Tim Clement-Jones – so in practice it's unlikely to go anywhere.)

In a statement sent to The Register, the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology, said: "Technology has huge potential to improve public services, but we know it's important to maintain the right safeguards including, where appropriate, human oversight and other forms of governance. "We will respond to Lord Clement-Jones' Private Members' Bill in due course."
