Social Credit Systems: Dystopian Visions and Real-world Challenges

Line: 35 to 34
 In Europe, the GDPR has attempted to address the issues that may arise with the use of social scoring systems (and other systems that are meant to “profile” individuals) by introducing Article 22, which allows individuals to opt out of “automated decision making” and obtain human intervention whenever their personal information is used to take a decision which produces a legal effect (e.g., entering into a contract with that individual).

I believe that such a rule is a good start, but simply relying on a human intervention to review a decision already made by an algorithm is not sufficient. The scope of the rule should be expanded to establish a genuine right to be assessed as a human, not based on predictions of our future behaviors derived from our online activity. In light of the examples mentioned above, the adoption of such rules is particularly necessary in contexts such as the provision of banking services or dealings with public administration, but it should eventually come to include all those situations in which fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals are at risk. \ No newline at end of file

A much-improved draft. I don't have further suggestions.
