Secretive algorithms are shaping welfare decisions | Welfare Data Watch

Big Brother Watch Team / April 24, 2021

Secretive algorithms are shaping welfare decisions across the UK often without your knowledge or consent.

Private companies hide the inner workings of the software that analyses your information behind claims of ‘commercial confidentiality’, meaning that the general public, like you and me, are not told what is happening with our data.

Big Brother Watch is working to reveal how a few lines of computer code are defining the British welfare state today.
