AI0-001 AI Governance and Ethics Practice Question

Under the GDPR, individuals have the right to not be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing if it produces legal effects. Which of the following is a typical safeguard that organisations must provide to comply with this right?

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

The right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller

GDPR requires human intervention as a safeguard for automated decisions with legal effects. The right to explanation and human oversight are key. Deleting data is not a safeguard; consent is not sufficient; detailed explanations are part of transparency.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • The right to have all personal data deleted immediately

    Why it's wrong here

    The right to erasure is separate and does not address automated decision-making.

  • The right to receive a detailed mathematical explanation of the model

    Why it's wrong here

    GDPR requires meaningful information about the logic involved, not necessarily a full mathematical explanation.

  • The right to demand a more favourable automated decision

    Why it's wrong here

    There is no such right; only the right to contest the decision.

  • The right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller

    Why this is correct

    GDPR Article 22 requires that meaningful human intervention be available for automated decisions producing legal effects.
