The reviewer can change or annul the outcome.
Art. 81 · review that can genuinely change the outcome
Explanation, challenge and effective review
Effective review is not clicking “confirm” on an algorithmic output. The proposed Constitution requires sufficient authority, time, information and competence to understand the case and set the system aside when there are grounds to do so.
Proposed Constitution · reference text · not promulgatedIn brief
A person must be able to understand the basis of the decision, challenge relevant data and factors, and obtain review by someone with real power to change the outcome.
Effective review is not clicking “confirm” on an algorithmic output. The proposed Constitution requires sufficient authority, time, information and competence to understand the case and set the system aside when there are grounds to do so.
An explanation adequate to the individual case
A significant decision must state the legal basis, essential facts, responsible authority, material use of automation and sufficient factors for challenge. The explanation may protect technical secrets provided it supplies enough elements to permit a challenge.
Effective review by a competent authority
Has access to what materially influenced the decision.
Is not pressured merely to validate the output.
Is not penalised for disagreeing when there are grounds.
What this means for you
How this right appears in practice
You must know how to request review and who is responsible for the decision.
An error in data, identity, rule or model may require correction of your case and review of comparable cases where there is systemic risk.
In a materially technical dispute, the law may ensure independent expert evidence or adequate technical assistance.

What this safeguard does not mean

Intellectual property protects legitimate details, not an inability to test legality and reliability.
