A Private Members’ Bill introduced by Lord Clement-Jones into the House of Lords aims to regulate the use of automated and algorithmic systems in decision-making processes in the public sector (Public Authority Algorithmic and Automated Decision-Making Systems Bill). Private Members’ Bills do not usually become law, but often stimulate debate and exert influence on key issues. The Bill would require public authorities to complete an algorithmic impact assessment prior to implementing any new system. This would have to set out relative benefits and risks of the system; the steps being taken to minimise risks; an independent external scrutiny of efficacy and accuracy; and a bias assessment to ensure compliance with the Equality Act 2010 and the Human Rights Act 1998. Public authorities would also be required to complete an algorithmic transparency record providing a detailed explanation of the system, including technical specifications; how it is being used in practice to inform administrative decisions; and how human oversight will work in practice. All AI systems used by a public authority would have to be capable of scrutiny and a public register would have to be kept of decisions made. The Bill would also require the government to establish an independent dispute resolution service for challenging and providing redress for decisions made by AI systems.
