Article 22 of the GDPR enshrines the right not to be subject to a decision based on solely automated processing that has legal or otherwise significant effects on the individual concerned. This has proven to be a highly effective right that protects individuals from harmful decisions and discrimination. However, Clause 80 of this Bill would deprive individuals of this important right in most circumstances and would exacerbate power imbalances by requiring individuals to scrutinise, contest and assert their rights against decisions taken by systems outside their control.
