Algorithmic Impact Assessment (AIA)
Pre-deployment assessment of an algorithmic system's risks, typically required for public-sector AI. Canada's Directive on Automated Decision-Making mandates one; New Zealand's Algorithm Charter recommends one; the Colorado AI Act effectively requires one for high-risk systems. Distinct from DPIA (privacy-only scope) and FRIA (fundamental rights scope).
