BackA citizen is not a dataset
The National Ombudsman has published a report on the use of data and algorithms by the government. The investigation concludes that it must be clear what citizens can expect from the government when it uses data and algorithms. This is not always visible and recognizable. And this affects the trust that citizens have in the government. The National Ombudsman has therefore developed an ombudsvision on the proper use of data and algorithms by the government. He calls on the government to focus on the perspective of citizens when using data and algorithms.
The ombudsvision on the proper use of data and algorithms by the government offers three principles that help the government in this regard:
1. Be clear
2. Be accessible
3. Be solution-oriented
