How to account for automated decision systems in the public domain?

Automated decision-making affects governmental decision-making processes in terms of accountability, explainability, and democratic power. For instance, deciding on acceptable error rates reflects important value judgments that can have far-reaching ethical impacts. Public authorities, therefore, need to balance the risks and benefits to protect their citizens by making error analysis transparent and understandable, as it is an important determinant for the design and deployment choices regarding the automated decision system.
