Although the application of new technologies in an organization is very challenging, changes in the external environment must be responded by the organization in order to survive in the midst of business competition. The implementation of new technologies must be accompanied by changes in the internal culture and the readiness of management organization. Motor vehicle tax is the largest source of state revenue in the West Sumatra region. The implementation of the advanced digital technology in vehicle payment process (SIGNAL technology) is a government strategy in an effort to increase the effectiveness and accountability of the motor vehicle tax payment process. This paper analyzes the dynamics of change management in the One-stop Administration Services (SAMSAT) office of west sumatra province during the adoption of SIGNAL technology. This study used the qualitative approach, located in the SAMSAT office in West Sumatra. The choice of informants through purposive sampling techniques. Data collection techniques are observation, interviews, and documentation analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, verification, and conclusions. The results show that the government's readiness to face changes in the implementation of the motor vehicle tax payment application through the SIGNAL application for SAMSAT West Sumatra is good. In the sense that it is ready to implement the signal application. The obstacles faced when implementing the Signal application to increase motor vehicle tax revenues are in the form of attitudes of employees and leaders.

“…A group of studies [18,66,110] largely concentrate on defining algorithmic accountability and what it means to be accountable for a decision-aiding system. Some studies [45,93] conduct interviews with relevant stakeholders to understand challenges around accountable artificial intelligence.…”

“…Lack of transparency may also result from the existing power dynamics and may reinforce the existing power imbalances [57]. Accordingly, transparency is a necessary condition for conducting internal or external audits [84] and for a meaningful accountability relation between the actor (the owner or operator of the decision-aiding system) and the forum (e.g., the general public, stakeholders, auditors) [18,77]. On the other hand, transparency may conflict with proprietary rights [17,25,93].…”

Fig. 1. Decision-Aiding Systems Meet System Accountability Benchmark to Generate System Cards. (The leftmost image: Alina Constantin / Better Images of AI / Handmade A.I / CC-BY 4.0)Decisions in public policy are increasingly being made or assisted by automated decision-making algorithms. Many of these algorithms process personal data for tasks such as predicting recidivism, assisting welfare decisions, identifying individuals using face recognition, and more. While potentially improving efficiency and effectiveness, such algorithms are not inherently free from issues such as bias, opaqueness, lack of explainability, maleficence, and the like. Given that the outcomes of these algorithms have significant impacts on individuals and society and are open to analysis and contestation after deployment, such issues must be accounted for before deployment. Formal audits are a way towards ensuring algorithms that are used in public policy meet the appropriate accountability standards. This work, based on an extensive analysis of the literature, proposes a unifying framework for system accountability benchmark for formal audits of artificial intelligence-based decision-aiding systems in public policy as well as system cards that serve as scorecards presenting the outcomes of such audits. The benchmark consists of 50 criteria organized within a four by four matrix consisting of the dimensions of (i) data, (ii) model, (iii) code, (iv) system and (a) development, (b) assessment, (c) mitigation, (d) assurance. Each criterion is described and discussed alongside a suggested measurement scale indicating whether the evaluations are to be performed by humans or computers and whether the evaluation outcomes are binary or on an ordinal scale. The proposed system accountability benchmark reflects the state-of-the-art developments for accountable systems, serves as a checklist for future algorithm audits, and paves the way for sequential work as future research.
