New Zealand has just become the first country to publish an algorithm charter [data.govt.nz] regulating the use of algorithms and data by government agencies. To quote the Minister for Statistics [zdnet.com]:

"Using algorithms to analyse data and inform decisions does not come without its risks," he said. "It is important, therefore, that people have confidence that these algorithms are being used in a fair, ethical, and transparent way. And that's what this Charter is all about."
