<p>Artificial intelligence and digital government minister Feryal Clark said that, since publication “became mandatory earlier this year, publication plans were disrupted by the general election, but

to algorithms and analytics to tackle benefit fraud</a></li> </ul> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/> <p>Given this progress, ministers “do not believe that legislation is necessary at this time” to make it a formal requirement, enshrined in law, for departments to adhere to the ATRS.</p> <p>“We will continue to explore further options for encouraging and enforcing the use of the ATRS, and the need to extend the breadth of the policy beyond central government,” Clark added.</p> <p>The minister, whose comments were made in response to a series of written parliamentary questions from Conservative MP David Davis, said that the use of citizens’ data by algorithms – and the potential impact of automated decisions – benefit from various legal and operational frameworks.</p> <p>“In the UK’s data protection framework, Article 22 of the UK GDPR sets out the rules relating to solely automated decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on individuals,” she said. “Under these circumstances, individuals have the right to specific safeguards, including being notified of the decisions, being provided information about the solely automated decision making that has been carried out, and the right to contest those decisions and to obtain human intervention.”</p> <p>Clark added: “These specific safeguards for solely automated decision making complement the wider data protection framework’s existing data subject rights, including the rights to transparency, objection and access. Organisations must also continue to observe the data protection principles to ensure personal data is processed lawfully, fairly and transparently. These rules apply to all organisations, including public bodies.”</p> <p>ATRS was developed and is now overseen by the Central Digital and Data Office and Responsible Technology Adoption Unit – both of which are now based in the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology. It is reviewed every six months.</p> <p></p> <script type="text/plain" data-tcf="waiting-for-consent" data-id="7206" data-bid="1"
