ACM Conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency

ACM Conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency (ACM FAccT, formerly known as ACM FAT*) is a peer-reviewed academic conference series about ethics and computing systems.[1] Sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery, this conference focuses on issues such as algorithmic transparency, fairness in machine learning, bias, and ethics from an multi-disciplinary perspective. The conference community includes computer scientists, statisticians, social scientists, scholars of law, and others.[2]

The inaugural conference took place in New York City in 2018, followed by Atlanta in 2019 and Barcelona in 2020. The 2021 edition will take place in Toronto.[3]

The conference is sponsored by companies such as DeepMind, Facebook, and Google, and foundations such as the Rockefeller Foundation, the MacArthur Foundation, and Luminate.[4] Sponsors contribute to a general fund (no "earmarked" contributions are allowed) and have no saying in the selection, substance, or structure of the conference.[5]
