ACM FAccT (Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency) is an annual academic conference sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery that brings together researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to discuss algorithmic fairness, system accountability, and transparency in computing systems. The conference has become a central venue for interdisciplinary work on bias detection, algorithmic auditing, and the societal impacts of AI and machine learning systems. FAccT publishes peer-reviewed papers and hosts workshops, panels, and discussions on topics ranging from fairness metrics and bias mitigation to regulatory frameworks and participatory design approaches. The conference reflects growing concern in computer science and adjacent fields about ensuring that automated decision-making systems are equitable, explainable, and subject to meaningful oversight.
