01. We Audit

We provide communities with technical skills and tools to reverse-engineer and audit the AI systems that impact their constituents. We tackle all systems, generative and predictive, and measure specific impacts in specific contexts.

02. We Empower

Through our Community-led AI Audits (CLA), we engage communities to uncover how AI affects them, generating data and insights to drive fair, accountable, and responsible AI policies. In the process, we transfer tools and knowledge to increase the capacity of legacy organizations to speak up on AI.

03. We Advocate

Once we have data on AI bias and impact, we work with communities to help them develop awareness campaigns, policy interventions and, if they wish to, help them engage in strategic litigation. We work to translate our findings into better practices, policies and regulation, and to put independent auditing at the heart of AI accountability.
