The System Won’t Let Me: How AI Turned Bureaucracy Into an Alibi
The most revealing sentence in modern institutional life is not, “You have been denied.” A denial still implies a denier. The more revealing sentence is, “The system won’t let me.” That sentence empties the room while everyone remains inside it. The employee is present. The institution is present. The consequence is present. Only authorship has disappeared. A machine with no legal personality has exercised practical power, while a human being with legal personality claims to possess none. You may hear the sentence after a medical authorization is refused, an account is frozen, a job application is rejected, a benefit is interrupted, or a manuscript is accused. The speaker may be genuinely sympathetic. Sympathy, however, cannot reopen the file, suspend the penalty, or restore what the system has taken.

Serious corrupt conduct and automated harm as a public service
"NACC investigation into Robodebt reveals public service corruption, but it will take much more to fix the system. The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) has released its much-anticipated investigation into the six people referred by the Royal Commission into the Robodebt Scheme."
"...The Robodebt scheme has exposed fundamental failings in our system of public administration. Public servants have lost power over the decades, with the rise of ministerial advisers and senior bureaucrats being in fixed-term contracts and in constant fear of losing their jobs. As a result, it is more difficult for public servants to provide “frank and fearless advice” – they are instead often focused on pleasing the minister. In the case of Robodebt, the public servants manoeuvred to put together this unlawful scheme that has caused significant harm to hundreds of thousands of Australians."
"The Robodebt scheme shows the rise of automation in government may lead to significant harm. Therefore, stronger safeguards are needed before we deploy such technologies." >>

Technē without safety guardrails?
* "The public showdown between the Department of Defense and Anthropic began earlier this week after they entered into discussions about the military’s use of the company’s Claude AI system. But the talks broke down as both sides appeared to be unable to come to agreement over safety guardrails."
"US defense officials have pushed for unfettered access to Claude’s capabilities that they say can help protect the country, while Anthropic has resisted allowing its product to be used for mass surveillance or autonomous weapons systems that can kill people without human input." >>

The Data Bill strips back your right to human review of automated decisions that have life-changing impacts.
It flips the script, forcing you to prove a mistake has been made when AI gets it wrong – the scales of justice further imbalanced.

Even the limitation on automated decision-making using 'special category data' could be sidestepped by relying on the loophole of 'authorised by law' in the UK Data Bill.
The letter warns that "police will be able to conduct ADM without limitation and to conduct ADM involving sensitive data with very few limitations."

Automated decisions could be made in policing "on the basis of their socioeconomic status, regional or postcode data, inferred emotions, or even regional accents."
The UK Data Bill puts marginalised groups at risk of opaque and unfair automated decisions that replicate inherent biases in the data.

The UK Data Use and Access Bill strips away your right to not be subjected to life-changing decisions made solely by AI, apart from where special category data is used.
But, as the letter says, "there are many contexts in which non-special category personal data acts as a proxy for protected characteristics."

The UK Data Bill could unleash unchecked automated decision-making in policing ⚠️👮
ORG has signed Big Brother Watch's open letter to warn that removing safeguards could greatly expand "possibilities for bias, discrimination and lack of transparency".

The Commission version improved the GDPR automated decision-making test by explicitly stating that decisions that significantly affect working conditions would be significant — this is removed in the Council Version. You can see more on this in s 2.1.2. of our article. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/20319525231167983 and image 2. #adm #automatedDecisionMaking #automatedDecisions
