In their own words
“AlgorithmWatch is a human rights organization based in Berlin and Zurich. We fight for a world where algorithms and Artificial Intelligence (AI) do not weaken justice, democracy, and sustainability but strengthen them. Our mission is to ensure that the use of algorithmic systems benefits the many, not the few.”

“To achieve this mission, we - analyze the use of algorithmic decision-making processes and their effects on humans and societies; - explain the characteristics of and power structures behind these complex algorithmic decision-making processes; - develop effective frameworks governing the use of algorithmic systems, based on our research and scientific evidence - publicly call out misuses as well as discriminatory and other kinds of negative impacts of algorithmic systems on human rights and the public good, and campaign for effective transparency and accountability mechanisms.”
