The investigation has revealed that Försäkringskassan’s ML system primarily targets marginalized groups, raising concerns about its fairness and effectiveness.
Lighthouse Reports highlighted that the system fails to identify actual fraud among wealthier individuals while wrongly flagging low-income earners and women.
Amnesty International calls for the immediate discontinuation of the algorithm, citing its disproportionate impact on vulnerable populations and the detrimental effects on their welfare access.
This investigation points to serious flaws in the algorithm used by Sweden’s Social Insurance Agency, where inherent biases lead to systemic discrimination against certain groups.
