• How can normative disputes be settled when performing Fundamental Rights Impact Assessments (FRIAs) in AI development?

Description

Algorithm Audit hosted a public seminar on algorithm validation and algoprudence in The Hague. Anne Meuwese shared insights on the value of algoprudence in contextualizing legal norms. Floris Holstege shed light into statistical hypothesis testing which plays an important role in our recent techincal audits. 

We appreciated the interactive Q&A with the participants, especially the curious and critical questions which enables us to clarify our work, but also contributes to the further development and refinement of our activities as an NGO.
