Regardless of the whatever the GDPR actually says and even if ML is a complete black box, I would be very happy at least knowing my input features to ML algorithms.
e.g. If I'm denied a loan, I want to learn the various "facts" about me that led to the ML coming up with the denial. Then I can fact-check it (e.g. "actually I don't already have $X of debt") and come up with an appeal.
- maxxxxx 9y agoAgreed. We are building up this level of faceless bureaucracy the more automated algorithms with multiple inputs we are using. I know someone who had to deal with identity theft and it's a sheer nightmare to figure out why you get denied a rental car or airplane boarding. The people facing the customer know that the person is blocked but don't know why and have no way to figure out why.
