AI Forensics

AI Forensics is a European non-profit that investigates influential and opaque algorithms.

Our vision is to apply innovative methods to uncover digital rights violations. In other words, we are the digital detectives who shine a light on hidden algorithmic injustices, and work to bring accountability and transparency to the tech industry.

We hold major technology platforms accountable by conducting independent and high-profile technical investigations to uncover and expose the harms caused by their algorithms.

We have been developing our own auditing tools since 2016. Our infrastructure has supported dozens of research projects and audits across multiple platforms (YouTube, TikTok, Amazon…), leading to tangible impact in tech regulation and strategic litigations. Our findings are regularly featured in print and broadcast by NPR, FT, WaPo, WSJ, Wired, Guardian, Le Monde, Forbes and the BBC. We are also regularly invited to participate in conferences, podcasts and other public events.

Our innovative data-driven methodology provides journalists, researchers, and policymakers with timely evidence of systematic violations of users’ interests and digital rights, particularly for minority groups and communities that are often overlooked in the design of technology.

We believe that consistent and coordinated scrutiny is the path to restoring the balance of power between big tech platforms and its users.
