Algorithm-assisted decision-making in the social matters: management of Social Security and administrativesanctioning procedure

Abstract

The recently approved Royal Decree-Law 2/2021 extends the field of automa­ted administrative actions to most of the management of Social Security and introduces them in the sanctioning procedure in the social order. In this new context, an attempt is made to contextualize these novelties, analyzing their precedents, and, above all, to determine the interpretative problems they raise. In the latter field, special attention is paid to the guarantees that citizens have in relation to this type of automated decisions.
