About us
Gradient Institute is an independent, nonprofit research institute that works to build ethics, accountability and transparency into AI systems: developing new algorithms, training organisations operating AI systems and providing technical guidance for AI policy development.
With AI systems for automated decision-making proliferating rapidly, and increasingly being used to make or influence decisions in all areas of human endeavour — including education, health, finance, media, employment and retail — it is now important to explore how to ensure such systems do not perpetuate systemic inequality or lead to significant harm to individuals, communities or society.
