Algorithms Charter: request for comment

By

There’s a “Draft Algorithms Charter” from the Government

The Ministry of Statistics is asking for  feedback on the draft charter by 31 December 2019. Specifically:

  • Does the proposed text provide you with increased confidence in how the government uses algorithms?
  • Should the Charter apply only to operational algorithms?
  • Have we got the right balance to enable innovation, while retaining transparency?
  • Have we captured your specific concerns and expectations, and those of your whānau, community or organisation?
