Abstract

The chapter uses the examples of SyRI and OxRec to illustrate challenges pertaining to governmental automated decision-making and profiling, regarding: data used in a different context than the one in which they were gathered originally or in a specific context with its own unique aspects; bias in data; group profiles in a legal landscape of regulation of data towards individuals; and the assumption of the low risk of nonpersonal data. The chapter recommends that the regulatory framework be contextual enough to take all the above-discussed factors into account and pay attention to the importance of groups in data and the importance of non-personal data. This short chapter offers examples and arguments to further this discussion.
