The International Panel on the Information Environment (IPIE) proposes a global AI auditing framework to address the lack of consistent standards and the tendency of current audits to overlook impacts on the global majority. The framework defines seven key functions: audit scope, auditor roles, stakeholder engagement, context-appropriate criteria, evidence requirements, methodology, and post-audit activities. It emphasizes the need for auditor independence, transparent results, and the inclusion of environmental and labor impacts to protect human rights and collective well-being.

  • Current AI auditing practices lack consistency and often fail to account for global impacts, as most audits are conducted by entities in North America and Europe, potentially ignoring human rights violations, labor exploitation, and environmental destruction in other parts of the world.
  • The proposed framework identifies seven essential functions for effective AI auditing: defining the audit scope, clarifying auditor roles, establishing stakeholder engagement mechanisms, setting context-appropriate criteria, determining evidence requirements, developing methodologies, and implementing comprehensive post-audit activities.
  • To ensure reliability, auditors must be independent and qualified, with transparency regarding their funding and professional expertise. The framework suggests protections such as 'safe harbors' to ensure genuine independent audits.
  • Audit criteria must be designed to evaluate systemic harms, including labor rights (such as fair compensation and protection from algorithmic management) and environmental impacts (including energy and water consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and e-waste).
  • Effective auditing requires access to comprehensive evidence, including model cards, data sheets, and audit trails provided by developers, as well as evidence collected from end-users and affected communities.
  • Audit methodologies should not rely solely on provided documentation but must include performance testing, scenario testing, interviews with staff and contractors, and participatory methods to verify stakeholder satisfaction.
  • Audit results must be publicly accessible through open-access journals, news media, or public repositories to allow stakeholders to hold developers accountable and to support regulatory enforcement.
