I have also added my name to Amendment 115A, which aims to delete the regulations in new Article 22D. As the noble Viscount, Lord Camrose, will no doubt explain, there is a danger of mission creep with the rollout of ADM. The key concern is that the Secretary of State could, through secondary legislation, water down what counts as meaningful human involvement. My fear is that this would allow decision-makers to bypass the need to comply with safeguards in new Articles 22A to 22C by having a nominal human in the loop, even if that human was not in a position to be an effective safeguard. This could be because they were not sufficiently competent; they were not allowed enough time properly to revise a decision; they were influenced by automation bias, in which human decision-makers are unduly influenced by the recommendations of the machine; or, because of the black box nature of the algorithm, they were not in a position to understand it.
