The Challenge
Background: The REPAIR research project investigates the societal impacts of algorithmic systems. The initiative is funded by the Strategic Research Council and led by experts at Demos Helsinki.
The Problem: Complex technical and ethical concepts needed to become accessible to a broad audience. Decision makers and developers lacked a clear format to understand the failures of digital systems and how to fix them.
The Objective: Translate dense academic research into a highly readable and visually cohesive publication. The primary goal was to equip decision makers and politicians with actionable models to improve public governance.
