Ministry of Defence: Artificial Intelligence
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how does the Department define and ensure meaningful human involvement in decisions supported or made by automated systems.
Answered by Luke Pollard
Within the Ministry of Defence (MOD), in relation to decisions supported or made by automated systems which involve personal data, meaningful human involvement requires that automated outputs undergo thorough and appropriate human review. This includes ensuring that such outputs do not constitute the sole basis for any significant decisions impacting individuals unless there is a lawful basis for such processing and all relevant statutory safeguards are fully implemented. The MOD’s Data Protection Impact Assessment process is used to assess risks and ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place.
