The UK government is backing away from proposals to remove individuals’ rights to challenge decisions made about them by artificial intelligence following an early analysis of its consultation process.<\/p>\n

In its response to the consultation “Data: A new direction”, which set out proposals for changing UK data protection law following the nation’s departure from the European Union, the government would look to the “efficacy of safeguards” with respect to automated decision-making about people, rather than the removal of safeguards, Harry Lee, deputy director, data protection and data rights, Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport told a conference yesterday.<\/p>\n

In September 2021, the government published a consultation that suggested it could water down individuals’ rights to challenge decisions made about them by AI.<\/p>\n
