Combating Algorithmic Bias Against Women with an Independent Assurance Ecosystem

AI systems increasingly shape hiring, evaluation, and promotion decisions, yet organizations lack credible ways to assess and address gender bias embedded in these tools. Fathom is catalyzing an independent AI assurance infrastructure that allows organizations to evaluate fairness in AI systems with rigor and confidence and creates more legal certainty by establishing a standard of heightened care. Through a formal coalition of assurance providers, our approach translates intent into accountability for employment and career outcomes.
