Algorithmic Impact Assessment

Canadian Government

The AIA is a questionnaire designed to help assess and mitigate the impacts associated with deploying an automated decision system. It helps identify the impact level of an automated decision system. It was developed with the Canadian Directive on Automated Decision-Making in mind but it can be applied elsewhere. The questions are focused on business processes, data, and system design decisions.

The questionnaire asks around 60 questions and the results will demonstrate impact level as well as a link where you can learn about what requirements would be under the Directive. The questionnaire takes at least 35 minutes to complete. This is an open source project that can be adapted to suit your needs. It is available in English and French.

How to Run a Civic Lottery

process. This toolkit is best for those who have decided that a reference panel is right for their situation (see the publishers associated toolkit on reference panels) and want to make sure that their selection process is fair and inclusive.

One review for "Agile Evaluation Kit (Kit de Evaluación)"

    This toolkit is insightful of different innovative tools concerning the evaluation of public policies and agile management. It gathers practical and theoretical insights. It deepens the information evoked in the Toolkit Recursero de evaluación, done by the same Ministry of Modernization of Argentina. It provides examples of the application of these tools in Latin American countries and applied to a variety of issues. It uses diagrams that make the information easier to read. As in the Recursero de evaluación, different colours are attributed to different steps or tools. This aspect helped me a lot when reading the big number of concepts that are evoked in the toolkit.
    It includes a glossary with new concepts that clarify and make it understandable for everybody. And it also recommends other lectures to deepen the knowledge about a variety of concepts. There is no need to be an expert to understand this toolkit.
