Set a process for a person to challenge a decision the system made or informed
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From the decisions the system makes or informs, draft the steps a person would follow to challenge the use of the system or the outcome. Align the steps with guardrail 7, which says organisations should have processes for people affected to challenge use or outcomes. Do not decide whether a statutory review right also exists.
- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer decides the real path: internal challenge, a privacy complaint, a statutory review, or more than one. The lawyer approves the process before it is offered to people affected.

- Confirm the draft does not promise a remedy the lawyer has not identified.
