What is an Automated Decision-Making workshop?

Our workshop on automating decisions is a session in which participants think about how these systems may be applied inside an organisation or sector. Participants are stakeholders such as users, analysts, customers, and legal or ethical experts.

The workshop's goal is to create support for the use of ADM systems, to understand the possible benefits and risks, and to suggest a strategy for responsible and ethical deployment.
