[Gnso-epdp-team] On the legality of algorithmic decision making

[Mark Svancarek (CELA)]

I think it's an interesting case.

>From the article:

On Wednesday, the Hague district court agreed with that [by collating swaths of data on entire neighborhoods, SyRI contravened the right to a private life guaranteed under European Human Rights Law], saying that it was legitimate for the government to use technology to address fraud, but that SyRI was too invasive.

There is legal or similarly significant impact, so it's clearly covered by Article 22, but the court still seems to have comfort with some level of automation. It's confusing.

Here is an interesting article for anyone here who still thinks that lawful balancing tests can be done by algorithms.
