Context
Algorithm auditing is a critical component of ensuring the safe and ethical development and deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) systems. As AI becomes more prevalent and integrated into various aspects of our lives, like in the rapid adoption of generative AI and large language models like ChatGPT, it is important to ensure that these systems are transparent, fair, and accountable.
Algorithm auditing involves examining algorithmic systems and their governance to ensure that ethical, safety, and compliance risks are sufficiently managed. By conducting independent audits, algorithm auditors can provide assurance to stakeholders that these systems are operating as intended, promote transparency and accountability, and further BABL’s mission of promoting human flourishing in the age of AI.
In order to fulfill this mission, algorithm auditors need a number of skills and capabilities, many of which fall outside the standard audit/assurance skillset. Current financial audit and assurance standards are critically important for maintaining independence and professional conduct, however, further capabilities are needed to deal with the complex sociotechnical systems in which modern AI and machine learning algorithms are embedded This is due to a) the rapid advance of the underlying technology, b) our rapidly evolving understanding of the ways these systems can affect society (both negatively and positively), and c) the fact that sufficient knowledge of (a) and (b) is needed to mitigate risk when evaluating algorithmic systems.

Will this program be useful for auditing clients in the EU?
Our intention with the AI Auditor Certificate Program is to make it as applicable as possible to both US and EU organizations. BABL AI is actively tracking and participating in a number of efforts related to both the EU Digital Services Act and the EU AI Act. Our auditing methodology is aligned with international assurance standards used by the “Big Four” auditing firms, and they’re likely the ones that will be adopted for the DSA/AIA (see our recommendations to the European Commission).
Is this program useful if I don't want to be an AI Auditor?
The courses in this program are meant to provide general and transferable skills in areas of AI governance, risk assessment, and technical testing of AI systems which are applicable in corporate, government, or civil society settings.
The only audit-specific course is “Algorithm Auditing & Assurance”.
