Service: Predict which residents have a higher risk of care or debt problems (SyRI)

Responsible organisation: Municipality of Twenterand (Local Government)

At least 25 municipalities use predictive systems and algorithms to, for example, detect welfare fraud, predict where potentially subversive crime takes place and to be able to help citizens with debts in time. Risk profiling is under a magnifying glass. In the childcare allowance affair, dual nationality appeared to be taken into account when drawing up risk profiles. Last year, the judge also dismissed the SyRI profiling system, partly because it was insufficiently transparent and therefore there was a risk of discrimination.
