Department for Transport: Artificial Intelligence
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps has the Department taken to assess and mitigate risks of bias or discrimination arising from the use of automated decision-making systems.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
Where the Department uses automated decision-making systems that process personal data, these processing activities are required to be assessed via the completion of a Data Protection Impact Assessment to support compliance with data protection law and associated guidance. This process is used to identify and mitigate any risk of bias and discrimination and assess the effectiveness of human oversight.
