NGO Algorithm Audit

Jurriaan Parie is an all-round algorithm expert and co-founder of NGO Algorithm Audit. With a background in mathematics, he explains complex algorithms in simple language. As an AI policy watcher, he unpacks the dilemmas surrounding widespread adoption of advanced technologies.

Jurriaan left his career in corporate consulting to contribute to a fairer digital future, without focussing on profit maximization. Through Algorithm Audit he is developing a European knowledge platform for AI bias testing and AI standards. The work of the NGO resonates across Europe and beyond.

Digitalisation demands adaptive institutions. From search engines to image detection: new technologies require oversight by parliaments, regulatory authorities and courts – many of which lack the necessary expertise. Drawing on his quantitative expertise, Jurriaan bridges the different reasoning paradigms of words and numbers, enhancing the rule of law’s ability to govern digitalising democracies.
