How Algorithms Change Statutes; Analysing the Transformative Effects of Automated Decision Making on Welfare Legislation

Research Description
The proposed empirical research aims to:
1. Analyse the potentially transformative effects of implementing ADM on the future of welfare legislation in Australia and New Zealand.

2. Support the modernisation efforts to deliver better welfare and other public services by equipping policy-makers with the right guidance and tools to help recognise and mitigate ADM’s undesirable or unintended consequences.
