It analyses three recent case studies including: a voice recognition system used to detect fraud in English-language testing; an algorithm for identifying ‘risky’ visa applications; and automated decision-making in the EU Settlement Scheme. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\nThe book argues that a precautionary approach is essential to ensure that society benefits from government automation without exposing individuals to unacceptable risks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jack Maxwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48281007587579,"sku":"9781529219845","price":67.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9781529219845_e291ba44-c87b-45ef-a0d3-e5fea462b1f4.jpg?v=1772484552","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/experiments-in-automating-immigration-systems-9781529219845","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
