The Algorithmic Welfare State

What the algorithmic decision-making in welfare systems has produced for the people it affects

The Systems

The algorithmic decision-making systems in the welfare state -- the specific automated systems that make or recommend the decisions about benefit eligibility, child welfare intervention, parole, and the specific public assistance applications that the government manages -- have been implemented at scale in the past decade as the efficiency and consistency arguments for algorithmic decision-making have been adopted by the government agencies that administer the programmes.

The Evidence

The evidence on what the algorithmic systems produce: the Virginia Eubanks research on the specific algorithmic systems that the American welfare state employs documents the specific discrimination and the specific error rates that the systems produce for the populations they serve. The facial recognition errors, the benefit denial algorithms, and the predictive policing systems each represent the specific algorithmic failure that the empirical documentation has established.
