Area-based analyses
Geographic or group-level predictive data analytics.
Definition
Predictive analyses and profiling conducted at the level of geographic areas or social groups rather than at the level of identified individuals; used to infer characteristics or risks for places or cohorts and inform policy or operational decisions. The brief highlights these analyses as a specific risk area requiring safeguards, because they can lead to collective discrimination or intrusive interventions affecting communities.
