Loup Cellard studied the use of freedom of information requests targeting algorithms from French public organisations. This work initially published in a white-paper commissioned by the French open data task force has been cited in the Automating Society Report 2020 from the Berlin-based NGO Algorithm Watch. The report presents how automated decision-making (ADM) systems now affect almost all kinds of human activities, and, most notably, the distribution of services to millions of European citizens – and their access to their rights.
