The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, 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 Ian Murray

There is no automated decision making in DCMS affecting individuals. Any automated outputs are always verified, edited, reviewed and owned by a human. Our training and guidance to staff reinforce these principles.
