Activities
In 2021, NGO Algorithm Audit was founded on the idea that ethics in algorithmic methods urgently needs a case-based and bottom-up approach. Algorithm Audit’s main activities are four-folded:
Advising on ethical issues that arise in concrete algorithmic practice through deliberative and diverse normative advice commissions, resulting in algoprudence.
Implementing and testing technical tools to detect and mitigate bias, e.g., synthetic data generation and bias detection tool.
Bringing together experts and knowledge to foster the collective learning process on the responsible use of algorithms, see for instance our AI policy observatory, white papers and op-eds.
Support for specific questions from public and private sector organisations regarding responsible use of AI
