HRIA
Human Rights Impact Assessment
A structured framework and platform for evaluating the human rights impact of AI systems and emerging technologies — designed for institutions, regulators, and governance bodies that take rights seriously.
Assessment Dimensions
Each impact assessment evaluates technology deployments across six fundamental rights dimensions, grounded in ECHR jurisprudence and EU regulatory frameworks.
Right to Privacy
Assessment of data collection, processing, retention, and cross-border transfer practices against ECHR and GDPR standards.
Non-Discrimination
Evaluation of algorithmic bias, disparate impact, and proxy discrimination across protected characteristics.
Freedom of Expression
Analysis of content moderation, recommendation algorithms, and information access impacts on democratic discourse.
Due Process
Assessment of automated decision-making systems against requirements for explanation, contestability, and human oversight.
Right to Work
Evaluation of AI-driven employment decisions, workplace surveillance, and labor market displacement effects.
Access to Remedy
Analysis of redress mechanisms, complaint procedures, and accountability structures for affected individuals.
Assessment Process
Scoping
Define the technology, its deployment context, affected populations, and applicable rights frameworks.
Evidence Gathering
Collect technical documentation, stakeholder testimonies, usage data, and comparable precedents.
Impact Analysis
Assess severity, likelihood, reversibility, and scope of identified rights impacts across each dimension.
Mitigation
Design proportionate safeguards, monitoring mechanisms, and accountability structures.
Reporting
Produce structured, auditable assessment reports suitable for regulatory review and public transparency.
