Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency (FAccT)

Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency (FAccT) are principles guiding the development and deployment of technology, especially AI. Fairness ensures that systems do not discriminate or unfairly disadvantage certain groups. Accountability means that creators and users are responsible for how these systems operate and impact society. Transparency involves making the workings of these systems understandable and open, so people can see how decisions are made. Together, FAccT aims to promote ethical, equitable, and trustworthy technology that benefits everyone and allows for oversight and correction when issues arise.
