Abstract

Russian public administration is characterized by a tendency to expand the use of automated decision-making systems that provide partial or complete automation of the procedure for making law enforcement decisions by executive authorities. The application and use of such systems is carried out in the absence of a holistic regulation that ensures the legality, transparency and validity of automated solutions and establishes additional legal guarantees for citizens and organizations.

Objectives and purposes of the study: to define a system of legal requirements that contribute to ensuring data quality in automated decision-making in public administration.

Research methods: general and special methods, including the dialectical method of scientific cognition, system-structural, formal legal, comparative legal methods, methods of analysis, synthesis, comparison and generalization.

Conclusions: one of the central elements of the legal regime for the functioning of automated decision-making systems in public administration should be the legislative establishment of data quality requirements, which are proposed to be understood as a set of requirements for the properties of data (datasets) and requirements for procedures for their processing and use. A system of data quality requirements and the specifics of its application in various fields of activity of executive authorities, including the requirements, is proposed: 1) reliability (accuracy, completeness and relevance) and consistency of data; 2) non-discrimination (representativeness) of data; 3) verifiability of data; 4) confidentiality of data; 5) adequacy and targeted limitations of data collection; 6) openness of data sets within the limits that do not violate confidentiality.
