Automated decision tech without opt-out

Offer an ADMT opt-out (or a qualifying human appeal), store the consumer's choice, and check it before the model runs on any significant-decision path.

Two pieces: an opt-out endpoint linked from the pre-use notice (e.g. POST /privacy/admt-opt-out) that stores a per-consumer admt_opt_out preference, and a check at the top of the server-side decision function that reads that preference and routes opted-out consumers to a human decision-maker without calling the model. Where the business instead relies on a human appeal, the decision response carries an appeal route (POST /decisions/{id}/appeal) to a reviewer who can interpret the model output and overturn the decision. A UI-only toggle that the decision service never reads does not count.

Where it goes: 1 application source code, 2 data models, 9 AI output handling, 14 user-facing text.

What reviewers look for: the stored preference read (if consumer.admt_opt_out, preferences.get('admt_opt_out')) before chat.completions.create or predict on the decision path, an opted-out branch that never calls the model, the opt-out endpoint linked from the notice, or an appeal route whose reviewer has authority to change the outcome.

def decide_tenancy(applicant):
    resp = client.chat.completions.create(model=MODEL, messages=tenant_prompt(applicant))
    return approve_or_deny(resp.choices[0].message.content)

def decide_tenancy(applicant):
    if prefs.get(applicant.consumer_id, 'admt_opt_out'):
        return route_to_human(applicant, reason='admt_opt_out')   # model never runs
    resp = client.chat.completions.create(model=MODEL, messages=tenant_prompt(applicant))
    return approve_or_deny(resp.choices[0].message.content)

@app.post('/privacy/admt-opt-out')
def admt_opt_out(user=Depends(current_user)):
    prefs.set(user.consumer_id, 'admt_opt_out', True)
    return {'opted_out': True}
