Abstract

As regulators we have an important role in answering questions that will shape the landscape of algorithmic audits. What frameworks should underpin algorithmic audits? What standards should algorithmic systems be assessed against? What role should audit play in the context of demonstrating compliance?

The DRCF has been considering these and other questions in discussions with stakeholders from industry, academia, civil society and government. This discussion paper summarises the key issues in the current audit landscape and explores the potential shape of the future ecosystem for algorithmic audit, with a specific focus on the role for regulators.
