The study investigates how state agencies administering SNAP comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act by providing language access for individuals with limited English proficiency (LEP).
This paper introduces a framework for algorithmic auditing that supports artificial intelligence system development end-to-end, to be applied throughout the internal organization development lifecycle.
ACM Conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency (ACM FAccT)
This report explores how despite unresolved concerns, an audit-centered algorithmic accountability approach is being rapidly mainstreamed into voluntary frameworks and regulations.
Algorithmic impact assessments (AIAs) are an emergent form of accountability for organizations that build and deploy automated decision-support systems. This academic paper explores how to co-construct impacts that closely reflects harms, and emphasizes the need for input of various types of expertise and affected communities.

This project maps the challenges of constructing algorithmic impact assessments (AIAs) by analyzing impact assessments in other domains—from the environment to human rights to privacy and identifies ten needed components for a robust impact assessment.
This report presents evidence on the use of algorithmic accountability policies in different contexts from the perspective of those implementing these tools, and explores the limits of legal and policy mechanisms in ensuring safe and accountable algorithmic systems.
The primer–originally prepared for the Progressive Congressional Caucus’ Tech Algorithm Briefing–explores the trade-offs and debates about algorithms and accountability across several key ethical dimensions, including fairness and bias; opacity and transparency; and lack of standards for auditing.
