Algorithmic Impact Assessment
What is it?

The Algorithmic Impact Assessment (AIA) is a tool designed to evaluate and mitigate the impacts of automated decision-making systems. By providing a detailed questionnaire, AIA helps organizations identify and address potential risks and biases associated with the implementation of these technologies. This evaluation is crucial to ensure that automated systems operate fairly and in accordance with applicable regulations, promoting ethical practices in the use of artificial intelligence and protecting the rights of individuals affected by these automated decisions.

What problems does it solve?

AIA addresses the risks and challenges associated with the adoption of automated decision-making systems. It provides a rigorous tool to evaluate the impact of these systems, ensuring that they meet ethical and legal standards before implementation, which is crucial to avoid biases and errors that can have significant consequences on the lives of those affected.

How does the tool work?

Impact Assessment: Algorithmic Impact Assessment often includes tools for evaluating the impact of algorithms on policy outcomes. Transparency: The platform supports transparency by providing clear insights into algorithmic decision-making. Policy Improvement: Users can often use assessment results to improve policies and decision-making processes.

Open standards

Built with Vue.js: leverages Vue.js to develop a reactive, component-based user interface. Manages application state with VUEX, ensuring consistency and responsiveness. Implements state persistence using VuexPersistence with Window.LocalStorage. Integrates survey-Vue for creating, executing, and processing surveys. Employs BootstrapVue for modern, responsive UI styling. Supports multiple languages with I18N, broadening accessibility. Utilizes service workers for offline capabilities and faster load times.
