Research project/Challenge The AIAL (AI Accountability Lab) is seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral Researcher to work on developing a justice-oriented audit framework synthesising computational methods, theories of justice, and existing regulations to premeditatively focus audits towards meaningful accountability. The goal of the framework is to provide audit practitioners with practical tools such as guiding questions and rubrics that shape perspectives towards rigorous justice oriented audits. The position corresponds to work in one or more of the following areas: Accountability Mapping accountability mechanisms and governance structures and their alignments with fundamental rights and freedoms and legal frameworks. Challenging existing accountability mechanisms that do not consider or sufficiently address social inequalities, power and resource asymmetries. Developing new methods for ensuring accountability beyond technical and organisational considerations that provide empirical evidence for holding stakeholders accountable for AI development, provision, and deployments. Auditing Developing audit methodologies for specific stages in the AI lifecycle focused on ensuring justice, accountability, and transparency beyond merely satisfying legal requirements. Development of verifiable, replicable, and reproducible design methodologies and frameworks and using these in the execution of audits. Developing audit tools and frameworks to evaluate AI development and deployments with a specific focus on risk and harm mitigations beyond technical and organisational issues.
