U.K. civil society groups as well as my organization, Human Rights Watch, have found that the system relies on a means-testing algorithm that is prone to miscalculating people’s income and underestimating how much cash support they need. Families that bear the brunt of the algorithm’s faulty design are going hungry, falling behind on rent, and becoming saddled with debt. The human toll of automation’s failures appears to be lost on Sunak, however, who has vowed that his government will not “rush to regulate” AI.
