Artificial Intelligence
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what safeguards he has implemented to ensure compliance with statutory requirements relating to automated decision-making, including rights to information, human review and challenge in the context of the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025.
Answered by Kate Dearden
The Department does not currently have tools, products or processes that rely on automated decision-making. Article 22C of the UK GDPR contains safeguards for solely automated decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on individuals. The Department processes a relatively low volume of personal data, and decisions are more commonly made about organisations rather than individuals.
