OAIC Warns Government Over ADM Transparency

The Australian Office of the Information Commissioner (OAIC) reports that most federal agencies fail to disclose use of automated decision-making (ADM) systems, based on a desktop review of 23 entities. The study found only four agencies published ADM use via the Information Publication Scheme, none published ADM policies, and several gave unclear statements; the OAIC warns this undermines public trust and the Attorney-General's Department is developing a government-wide transparency framework.
