The Government of Canada's Directive on Automated Decision-Making outlines the framework for the responsible deployment of automated systems within federal institutions. It mandates that these systems are designed and used to reduce risks and improve efficiency while adhering to Canadian law. The directive requires algorithmic impact assessments, transparency in decision-making processes, and quality assurance measures. Crucially, it emphasizes the need for human intervention, access to recourse options, and public reporting on system effectiveness.
