decisions—like taxation, justice, and child protection—are now commonplace. How might designers support
such human values? We interviewed 27 public sector machine learning practitioners across 5 OECD countries
regarding challenges understanding and imbuing public values into their work. The results suggest a
disconnect between organisational and institutional realities, constraints and needs, and those addressed by
current research into usable, transparent and ‘discrimination-aware’ machine learning—absences likely to
undermine practical initiatives unless addressed. We see design opportunities in this disconnect, such as in
supporting the tracking of concept drift in secondary data sources, and in building usable transparency tools
to identify risks and incorporate domain knowledge, aimed both at managers and at the ‘street-level
bureaucrats’ on the frontlines of public service. We conclude by outlining ethical challenges and future
directions for collaboration in these high-stakes applications. (...)"
