Abstract
The article provides an overview of the regulation and use of automated decision-making systems by the government in Latvia when adopting binding administrative decisions for private individuals. Automated decision-making in this context is defined as a process where an automated information system generates an administrative decision solely using data collected from information systems without human intervention. The article examines the reasons why automated decision-making in Latvia is permitted only in cases specified by law and why, even in those cases, the actual implementation of automated decision-making is lagging.
