From: Peter Ituma
Dear Ministry of Social Development,
Do you use algorithmic tools or automated decision-making in benefit processing, fraud detection, or case prioritisation, if so, to what extent?
Has the Ministry undertaken a privacy impact assessment or fairness audit of these systems?
What rights do clients have to be informed of, or to challenge, decisions made (wholly or partly) by algorithm?
Yours faithfully,
Peter
