Answer

The Water Services Authority – Taumata Arowai advises that it has not conducted algorithm impact assessments. No algorithm impact assessments have been completed since 27 November 2023, as no automated decision-making systems or artificial intelligence tools requiring such an assessment have been implemented within the Local Government portfolio.
