Algorithmic Decision-Making in Public Administration

The present study addresses the impact of algorithmic decision-making in public administration. Following some brief clarifications on terminology, it analyses several examples of its application in public administration and discusses the issue of automated administrative acts. It then examines whether algorithmic decision-making conforms to the fundamental principles of administrative law and moves on to propose certain revised fundamental principles to be applied when implementing algorithmic decision-making in public administration before drawing its concluding remarks.
