To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, to what extent are automated decision-making systems used in relation to civil service employment, including recruitment, performance management, discipline, or allocation of work.
Reforms to the solely auromated decision-making (ADM) rules in the Data (Use and Access) Act make clear that these are decisions without any meaningful human involvement. This is to prevent ‘rubber stamping’ of decisions qualifying as having a ‘human in the loop’. To future-proof the legislation, the Act introduced a number of regulation-making powers to ensure the Government can keep these safeguards effective and up to date in light of evolving technology and changing societal expectations.
The ICO as the independent data protection regulator sets out in its guidance that “human involvement [in the decision making] has to be active and not just a token gesture” to be meaningful”. The ICO is working on updating its guidance in the light of the recent reforms and is working on a Code of Practice on AI and ADM which will provide authoritative guidance in data protection compliance in this area.
The UK’s data protection legislation does not lay down specific rules regarding particular employment systems. It is for each organisation to determine how it applies the data protection framework in its operational context. Where individuals are subject to significant decisions based solely on automated processing, the legislation provides safeguards including rights to information, challenge and human intervention.
The UK’s data protection legislation is a principles-based framework and does not prescribe specific consultation requirements for particular operational systems. Organisations are responsible for applying the requirements of the legislation within their own operational context and must ensure any processing of personal data complies with applicable legal requirements.
The UK’s data protection legislation applies to any processing of personal data regardless of the technology being used and is underpinned by principles of fairness, transparency and accountability. Organisations using automated decision-making or profiling must ensure processing is fair, lawful and transparent, and may be required to undertake a Data Protection Impact Assessment where processing is likely to result in a high risk to individuals’ rights and freedoms.
