However, algorithmic bias in machine learning can result in automated decisions that produce disparate impact and may compromise \u003ci\u003eCharter \u003c\/i\u003eguarantees of substantive equality. This book seeks to answer the question: what standards should be applied to machine learning to mitigate disparate impact in government use of automated decision-making?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe regulatory landscape for automated decision-making, in Canada and across the world, is far from settled. Legislative and policy models are emerging, and the role of standards is evolving to support regulatory objectives. While acknowledging the contributions of leading standards development organizations, the authors argue that the rationale for standards must come from the law and that implementing such standards would help to reduce future complaints \u003ci\u003eby\u003c\/i\u003e, and would proactively enable human rights protections \u003ci\u003efor\u003c\/i\u003e, those subject to automated decision-making. The book presents a proposed standards framework for automated decision-making and provides recommendations for its implementation in the context of the government of Canada's Directive on Automated Decision-Making.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs such, this book can assist public agencies around the world in developing and deploying automated decision-making systems equitably as well as being of interest to businesses that utilize automated decision-making processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNatalie Heisler has advised public- and private-sector organizations around the world in the strategy and deployment of data, analytics, and artificial intelligence for more than twenty years.
