Targets: The rising cases of algorithmic fraud and discrimination are alarming. Auditing AI systems is one way of ensuring a transparent and fair output. By exploring these questions on accountability we intend to highlight the technical and policy mechanism required to enure that public algorithmic decision making to equal, fair, and accountable and most of all, is in sync with human rights statutes and national laws.
Interactive gathering
The most horrific tales about algorithmic injustice are tied to pre-mature AI deployments leading to social injustice and discrimination. The AI audit ecosystem remains fragmented with tools and frameworks scattered and, in some cases closed and gatekept. Given the increasingly visible policy developments mandating audits and the proliferation of algorithmic products, algorithmic audits are increasingly critical tools for holding vendors and operators accountable. But without an understanding of the drivers of AI audit relating to a particular sector, it is hard for meaningful policy to drive and hold operators accountable. We propose to talk about the AI audit ecosystem trends, and their relationship with societal and technological innovation and discuss policy mechanisms as part of ongoing research.
