Overview
We partnered with 10 European AI businesses (based in or holding key operations in Europe/across the EU) to co-create and test an AI risk assessment framework on different AI applications. – We called that assessment “ADIA”, Automated Decision Impact Assessment.
Participating companies were asked to select an (in-house) AI/ML application that would produce effects or have an impact on people, to simulate the application of the ADIA framework on that particular application. We adopted a design sprint-inspired four week prototyping methodology, focusing on the participants’ journey when simulating risks and thereby exploring implications for policy understanding, policy effectiveness, and policy costs.
The results of this initial policy prototyping program clearly demonstrate that performing such assessments in practice is a valuable tool for companies to identify and mitigate risks from AI/ADM (automated decision-making) systems.

Recommendations
Publication AI Impact Assessment: A Policy Prototyping Experiment This report presents the findings and recommendations of the Open Loop’s policy prototyping program on AI Impact assessment, which was rolled out in Europe from September to November 2020. As the report outlines, the results of Open Loop’s first policy prototyping experiment were very promising. Based on feedback from the companies we collaborated with, our prototype version of a law requiring AI risk assessments, combined with a playbook for how to implement it, was clearly valuable to the participants as a tool for identifying and mitigating risks from their AI applications that they may not have addressed otherwise. The experiences of our partners highlighted how this sort of risk assessment approach can inform a more flexible, practicable, and innovative method to assessing and managing AI risks compared to more prescriptive policy approaches. |

Open Loop is a global program supported by Meta that bridges the gap between tech and policy innovation, fostering a closer collaboration between those building emerging technologies and those regulating them. We partner with governments, tech companies, academia and civil society to co-create and test new governance frameworks through policy prototyping programs, and to support the evaluation of existing legal frameworks through regulatory sandbox exercises.
