[Air-L] Audit4SG is live!

[Debarun Sarkar]

The Audit4SG tool is live!
The tool is a proof-of-concept and is an early intervention against checklist-based approaches to auditing artificial intelligence. It is based on an ontology named Relational AI ethics ontology (RelAIEO) developed for the tool. The web tool can help a user generate customizable methodologies for auditing claims of artificial intelligence for social good in the domains of education, economic empowerment and equality and inclusion loosely defined. The project received funding from the Notre Dame-IBM Tech Ethics Lab.
The tool is based on the assumption that the figure of the expert auditor is not a democratic solution for making artificial intelligence ethical.
You can find further details about the tool on the website: https://audit4sg.org
We are seeking collaborators to take this research project or its associated agendas forward. You can refer to two blogposts already posted on the site, "Introducing the principles of Audit4SG" (https://audit4sg.org/?p=405) and "Why OWL2?" (https://audit4sg.org/?p=464) to get a sense of our interests and goals. We will post more blogs over time. You can also refer to the academic outputs listed on the project page if you find the work interesting.
We are also seeking interested evaluators of the tool who could help evaluate the tool as it exists and also what it can be.
We currently do not have a budget finalized for testing or evaluation as the project funding ended a while ago. Hence, we are merely seeking your interest for now and will reach out for it at a later date when we have figured out the logistics. If you are interested in the tool or our intentions behind it, you can share your details here and one of the team members will reach out to you: https://forms.office.com/r/x9rxmzeJgi
If you prefer to contact us by email you can contact Debarun Sarkar (debarun[at]outlook[dot]com) or Cheshta Arora (car[at]vestforsk[dot]no).
