My piece for @PublicTech on why the UK, and specifically the DWP, must learn from the mistakes of the #Robodebt scandal when rolling out automation and #AI to ‘tackle’ fraud and error in the welfare system.

[Public Law Project @publiclawprojct]

When the #HomeOffice uses an automated tool to decide which couples are investigated as potential sham marriages, how can we guarantee the process is fair?

'The use of automation in public administration presents somewhat of a moving target. The question we are left with is: what does procedural fairness look like in the digital age?'

[Joseph Summers @ProsephSummers]

Last week @publiclawprojct @DanLRourke sent a pre-action letter to the Lord Chancellor arguing that he is in breach of his duty to secure legal aid for immigration and asylum cases - denying people access to justice.

To understand why, here are two things you need to read:

[Public Law Project @publiclawprojct]

And today we published our comprehensive report on the state of legal aid, 'An Ocean of Unmet Need', with @haringeymsc.

Good to see this @HumanRightsCtte letter to @michelledonelan ref. our concerns on how the #DataBill:

🚨 allows #automateddecisions to be made about people in a wider set of circumstances

@MiraHammad10 Satie/Bach/Debussy are my faves, there’s also some great modern composers I like listening to when I work, Ludovico Einaudi especially (Oltremare is one of my favourite piano pieces like ever)
