GDPR Art. 22: The Ban on Fully Automated Decisions in Everyday Life
Validated facts
No one may be subjected to a decision based solely on automated processing that produces significant legal effects (e.g. automated credit refusal, job rejection via AI filter) without a right to human intervention.
In plain language
'Computer says no' is not enough: If a machine decides on your credit or your job, you have the right for a real human to review the file again.
Security relevance & practical tip
Protects consumers from algorithmic arbitrariness and discrimination.
