AI Accountability Firm

The systems are
already running.
Who's assessing them?

Equitable Intelligence conducts AI readiness assessments for bias and discrimination, evaluates government AI procurement, and builds the governance infrastructure that makes accountability possible — for the communities that need it most.

Who we are

Built for this. Not pivoting into it.

"Equitable Intelligence exists to ensure that artificial intelligence serves justice, not just profit."
  • Justice First. Every product, service, and decision is filtered through the lens of equity.
  • Radical Transparency. We hold AI systems and institutions to the same accountability standards we demand of ourselves.
  • Community as Client. The communities we serve are partners, not recipients.
  • Regulatory Rigor. Compliance is not a ceiling — it is a floor we build on.
  • Intellectual Courage. We publish, present, and advocate even when the truth is inconvenient.

Equitable Intelligence operates as a dual-entity model: the LLC handles consulting contracts and government work; the Equitable Intelligence Foundation (501(c)(3) in formation) is the grant-eligible vehicle for community programs and civic technology.

Insights

From the practitioners.

We publish what we learn — about methodology, regulatory enforcement, and what accountability actually requires in practice.

AI Readiness
What a real algorithmic impact assessment looks like — and what it doesn't
Most AIA frameworks in circulation are compliance theater. Here's the difference between a document that checks boxes and one that survives legal scrutiny.

Policy
OMB M-24-10 isn't enough — what government AI procurement still gets wrong
The memo created a framework. It didn't create the independent assessor infrastructure needed to actually enforce it. That gap is our market.
Dr. Bridget Bratt  ·  Coming soon
Civil Rights
COMPAS was not an accident. Algorithmic discrimination is a design choice.
The recidivism tool that flagged Black defendants at twice the rate of white defendants wasn't a bug. It was the predictable output of unaccountable data governance.
