- Algorithmic Bias in French Welfare System Allegedly Discriminates Against Marginalized Groups
event | 20 Oct 2024 | 82%
A coalition of 15 human rights groups has launched legal action against the French government alleging that an algorithm used to detect welfare fraud discriminates against single mothers and disabled people. The algorithm assigns risk scores based on personal data. The process allegedly subjects vulnerable recipients to invasive investigations, violates privacy and anti-discrimination laws, and disproportionately affects marginalized groups.
