AI and Equality

Work with us

The method, applied to your systems, with our team in the room. 

Most of what we make is free and self-serve, the toolbox, the workbook, the course. But some organisations want the method applied directly to their own AI, with our team alongside them.  
That is what these services are: not generic AI-ethics advice, but the AI & Equality method put to work on your systems, early enough to change what gets built, or bought.

What we offer

AI procurement support.

Most organisations are not building AI, they are buying it, and few know how to buy it well.

We help public bodies and institutions ask the right questions of a vendor before a system enters a clinic, a classroom or a courtroom, turning purchasing power into a lever for rights-respecting AI.

Grounded in our peer-reviewed research on public-sector procurement, this is the area of our practice we are expanding most actively.

Workshops, tailored to your context.

Hands-on sessions that take your team through the human rights-based AI lifecycle on your own systems, the same six-stage method behind the HRIA Workbook, run for your people and your use cases.

Stakeholder engagement.

Bringing affected communities and the right expertise into the room early, so a system is shaped with the people it will affect rather than assessed after the fact.

Compliance, risk and harm detection.

Human rights impact assessment that produces the documented due diligence obligations like the EU AI Act increasingly require, and surfaces harms while there is still time to act.

Why us

We do not offer principles to admire.

 

We offer a method teams can use, built in collaboration with the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights and EPFL, grounded in human rights law rather than voluntary ethics.

We engage early, embed human rights considerations into every stage, and leave you with systems, and documentation, ready for what is coming.

If that is useful to you, get in touch.
