Department for Transport: Artificial Intelligence

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what processes are in place to enable individuals to seek human review and to challenge decisions made by automated systems in the context of the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

The Department's Personal Information Charter sets out how individuals will be informed about decisions that have been made partially or wholly by automated means, the safeguards, and the information rights that apply.

The Department also has an internal data protection policy which was updated to reflect the changes introduced by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 and provides guidance to the Department on its obligations when using automated decision making.
