While most of the debate is focused on AI principles, at Eticas we focus on practices and policies. We specialise in developing policy tools that allow governments to show leadership in tackling the challenges of the digital age.
We develop automation strategies, technology procurement guidelines, algorithmic registries, algorithmic leaflets, AI scorecards and any other tailored solution that contributes to helping the public sector make better choices while also building the incentives that will lead to the development of better AI solutions.

OASI
Eticas Foundation has developed the Observatory of Algorithms with Social Impact, or OASI. The Observatory’s objective is to better understand the risks and challenges posed by algorithms and machine learning processes. After publishing the Guide to Algorithmic Auditing, its methodology to audit algorithms, now Eticas brings together the algorithms used by governments and companies all around the world to shed light on their use and impact.
