Assuring against algorithmic harms

The aim of this event is to present a new approach to auditing, algorithmic auditing.

An algorithmic auditing approach assures that algorithmic harms are identified, addressed, and corrected so stakeholders can act on informed and vetted AI-powered business recommendations. This webinar aims to present a new approach that radically changes the structure, systems, and processes of auditing and to reveal what algorithmic auditing actually is and what it is not.

This event is part of the CAPIA Research Forum.

The programme is part of the Good Governance Research Forum which guides and equips organizations, academics and researchers to connect and establish effective governance practices.

Background information

This webinar addresses auditing based on algorithms as an example reflecting the changing nature of auditing. In this respect, it is open to discussion how the basic perspective should change for those who are audited and those who carry out the audit. At the same time, we will talk about the basic requirements, preliminary preparations, and challenges so that senior management can understand this new approach to auditing correctly and use it as a strategic tool.
