THE ALGORITHM SAID NO
Denied a loan? Rejected for a job with no explanation? Face not recognized? None of that is bad luck — it's a machine making a call, and nobody's checking its work.
The fix is simpler than you'd think:
Screenshot the rejection immediately.
Ask whether a human or a bot made the decision.
Demand the criteria in writing.
You have a legal right to have automated decisions reviewed — most people just don't know it exists.
Next time a screen decides your future, you'll be ready.
Follow along so the bots don't get the last word.
