Automated decisions
can look right
and still be wrong.
We hold the software behind high-consequence government decisions to a higher standard.
From courtrooms to classrooms, the Tech Integrity Lab works to ensure that AI, machine learning, and other advanced technologies are applied fairly and accurately.
We apply our PhDs and tech-industry background to ask hard questions about how those systems were built, what data trained them, and whether they actually measure what they claim to. As expert witnesses, lecturers, and scholars, we share approachable explanations that help all interested parties understand the function and limitations of these systems.
Our first step is establishing a fair and just adversarial process when algorithms are involved in criminal and civil cases. Our mission is to establish a culture throughout government of rigorous evaluation of high-consequence technology.
