As I understand it, the directive requires an algorithmic impact assessment for each automated decision-making system. Based on various specific criteria, this assessment will lead to a classification ranging from level 1, which is the lowest incidence, to level 4, which is the highest incidence. The results of that evaluation must be made public and updated if there are any changes to the functionality or the scope of the system.
Why is it important that automated decision‑making systems undergo an algorithmic impact assessment?
