Department for Business and Trade: Artificial Intelligence
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, with reference to the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, on what basis Automated Decision-Making in his Department are being made.
Answered by Kate Dearden
The Department for Business and Trade does not use automated decision-making to make decisions about individuals or businesses that produce legal or similarly significant effects without meaningful human involvement. Where automated tools are used to support decision-making, outputs are reviewed by departmental officials and final decisions remain subject to human judgement.
