Who decides on the algorithms that shape our daily lives? We believe this belongs to all of us. Our team of data scientists, lawyers, and ethicists tackles value-based questions at the heart of AI. As a knowledge platform, we bridge the gap between policy initiatives, academic insights and case-based experience. Through open-source tools, independent validation and advice, we translate knowledge into action. Connect with us to make responsible AI a shared effort.

Expertise

Sociotechnical evaluation of generative AI

We evaluate Large Language Models (LLMs) and other generative AI applications relating to guardrails, privacy and AI Act compliance. Based on a mature RAG application of the Dutch judiciary, we have developed a validation framework to analyze content filters, embedding strategies and user interaction design choices. Read more about AI Safety project work we conduct for the AI Office of the European Commission.

AI Act implementation and AI standards

Our open-source AI and Algorithms Qualification Toolkit (AI AQT) helps organizations identify algorithms and AI systems at scale and helps in assigning the appropriate risk category. As a member of Dutch and European standardization organisations NEN and CEN-CENELEC, Algorithm Audit monitors and contributes to the development of standards for the AI Act. See also our public knowledge base on standardization.

Bias analysis and non-discrimination

We evaluate algorithmic systems both from a qualitative and quantitative dimension, including analysis of objective justification as a key element of EU non-discrimination law. In addition to expertise in data analysis and statistics, Algorithm Audit has legal expertise relating to the GDPR, specifically prohibited automated decision-making, and organizational risk management. See our public standards for the responsible use of algorithmic systems.

Auditing and legal compliance

We audit algorithmic systems from organisational, technial and legal perspective. We also offer support with interpretation and implementation of the AI Act and GDPR legal texts, annexes and guidelines from the European Commission, including issues regarding definitions, high-risk applications and conformity assessment. Our audit reports and white papers contribute to public knowledge how legal compliance can be realised.

Distinctive in

Multi-disciplinary expertise

We are pioneering the future of responsible AI by bringing together expertise in statistics, software development, law and ethics. Our work is widely read throughout the Netherlands, Europe and beyond.

Not-for-profit

We work closely together with private and public sector organisations, regulators and policy makers to foster knowledge exchange about responsible AI. Working nonprofit suits our activities and goals best.

Public knowledge building

We make our reports, software and best-practices publicy available, contributing to collective knowledge on the responsible deployment and use of AI. We prioritize public knowledge building over protecting our intellectual property.
