Algorithmic Accountability Lab

The Algorithmic Accountability Lab is a research organization focused on understanding and improving the fairness, transparency, and ethical use of algorithms—step-by-step computer processes that make decisions or predictions. They examine how these algorithms impact society, identify biases or errors, and develop ways to ensure they operate responsibly. Their goal is to promote accountability in technology, making sure that automated systems are fair, trustworthy, and aligned with social values, ultimately helping prevent harm and foster equitable outcomes.
