Did you read the article? The code was obtained using a FOI request, and the model targets vulnerable making mistakes in claiming benefits rather rather than actual fraud. Which bit is the one you're impressed with ? The part where you personally will be fine? |

Please keep in mind that this algorithm doesn't actually punish anybody for wrongdoing, it's just a starting point for a human-led investigation.
Personally, I'd be more interested to know how a human-led investigation works. Is the process fair and reasonable? Do they go after poor people for minor problems with their following of the rules or do they go after them harshly? Is there a presumption of innocence and do they have an opportunity to appeal and have a fair shake in arguing their case?
