Deloitte was commissioned by the department to review the targeted compliance framework and its IT system, used to automate penalties in the welfare system if mutual obligationsweren’t met by jobseekers, in December 2024.

The subsequent report found widespread issues, including a lack of “traceability” between the rules of the framework and the legislation behind it, as well as “system defects”. It said an IT system was “driven by punitive assumptions of participant non-compliance”.

Fucking gross, robodebt 2.0 brought to you Deloitte. AI in its current state should be nowhere near these systems. It’s trash at worst and a toy at best.
