Algorithmic Watchdog

We are pleased to invite you to our third workshop which will explore how Algorithm Watchdogs could contribute towards the objectives of the emerging EU regulatory framework on AI. This is the third workshop in a series where we designed a methodology for an algorithm watchdog in collaboration with experts from academia and industry based on discussions on real-world issues around algorithmic fairness, transparency, and accountability in domains such as employment and online information...

Algorithm Watchdog

Expert workshop on algorithm watchdogs and visualizing bias in search engines Users put their trusts in search engines. Biases in search results, therefore, have introduced negative impacts to users, from manipulating their knowledge when learning a new topic to introducing political polarization in society. Given that it is difficult to remove bias completely, one approach to address this is to improve user awareness of bias in search engines. Eight prototypes of bias-aware search engines... Read More

Algorithm Watchdog

As part of an ongoing initiative, supported by the CyCAT EU-funded project, we are establishing a watchdog activity that will bring together interdisciplinary experts to produce recommendations for the oversight of algorithms used in application domains that are increasingly having profound socio economic impact. We envision that this watchdog will initially operate as an informal forum to discuss current problems that arise from the use of algorithms, especially those that raise privacy,... Read More
