Over the course of fall 2024, Algorithm Audit pairs up with the municipality of Amsterdam to build public knowledge on pragmatic risk management measures for algorithms falling within and outside the AI-system defintion under the AI Act.

Over the course of 2023-24, Algorithm Audit has paired up with Dutch public sector organisation DUO to build algorithm validation capacity from both a qualitative and quantitative dimensions. We have been working on:

• A technical audit of the college grant check proces. The first report, with findings and recommendation, Preventing prejudice has been sent to the Dutch Parliament on 01-03-2024;
• The second report, included a data analysis based on aggregation statistics shared by the Dutch National Office of Statistics to conduct a large-scale study on proxy characteristics in the college grant check process;
• Finding solutions to deal with the normative dimension of auditing and evaluating algorithmic-driven decision-making processes, for instance involvement of diverse stakeholders panels to qualitatively interpret quantitative measurements.
