AlgorithmWatch

AlgorithmWatch is a German non-profit organization founded in 2017 that investigates and audits automated decision-making systems used by governments and corporations across Europe. The organization focuses on algorithmic transparency and accountability, examining systems ranging from welfare eligibility scoring to content moderation algorithms on social media platforms.

The organization conducts research, publishes reports, and advocates for stronger regulation of algorithmic systems. AlgorithmWatch has become a leading voice in European algorithmic governance debates, contributing to policy discussions around the EU AI Act and other regulatory frameworks.

Their work combines technical analysis, investigative journalism, and policy advocacy to expose how algorithms affect citizens' rights and opportunities. The organization operates across multiple European countries and collaborates with journalists, researchers, and civil society partners.
