The conference brings together researchers and practitioners interested in fairness, accountability, and transparency in socio-technical systems. Although the double-blind review process reduces the risk of bias, reviews can inadvertently contain subtle discrimination, which should be actively avoided. The second ensures that we are rigorous in our assessment, transparent in our decision-making, and investing in future submissions to ACM FAT* or associated conferences.
