There has been much dispute over GDPR and whether it entails a right to explanation of e.g. algorithmic decision-making. According to a paper from Andrew D. Selbst, Data &amp; Society, and Julia Powles, University of Cambridge that right is definitely enshrined.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The two authors refer to papers that have concluded that there is no such think as a right to explanation, e.g. <a href=\"https:\/\/papers.ssrn.com\/sol3\/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2903469\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">one from<\/a> Sandra Wachter, Brent Mittelstadt, and Luciano Floridi from Oxford University that asserts that there is no such right. Selbst and Powles do, however, conclude:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>There is no single, neat statutory provision labeled the \u201cright to explanation\u201d in Europe\u2019s new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). But nor is such a right illusory.<\/li>\n<li>Responding to two prominent papers that, in turn, conjure and critique the right to explanation in the context of automated decision-making, we advocate a return to the text of the GDPR.<\/li>\n<li>Articles 13\u201315 provide rights to \u201cmeaningful information about the logic involved\u201d in automated decisions. This is a right to explanation, whether one uses the phrase or not.<\/li>\n<li>The right to explanation should be interpreted functionally, flexibly, and should, at a minimum, enable a data subject to exercise his or her rights under the GDPR and human rights law.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/poseidon01.ssrn.com\/delivery.php?ID=490074106114121093125092003019094104041021014087045043087028004025125098014087000075048120001122008096009117104064088007029082008007035089016084080075083065012030120024034042093095018067098070125127029096116124119105092100087005096111097072121081115007&amp;EXT=pdf\">Read the full study here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Research.
