Hortus AI is hiring for two intern roles

Present efforts to document the societal impact of algorithms, such as AI FactSheets, operate in a mostly static paradigm. This means they do not capture how system components may interact with stakeholder interests over time. Hortus AI is developing tools, such as Reward Reports, to track the feedback loops that emerge between human contexts and various system components. Our goal is to empower users and other stakeholders to evaluate system performance in terms of these loops.

Our current website is here: rewardreports.github.io
