We're a nonprofit that fights for your privacy and free speech online.
We doubt these algorithmic tools are ready for prime time, and the state of California should not have embraced their use before establishing ways to scrutinize them for bias, fairness, and accuracy.
They must also be transparent and open to regular independent audits and future correction. [...] The public must have access to the source code and the materials used to develop these tools, and the results of regular independent audits of the system, to ensure tools are not unfairly detaining innocent people or disproportionately affecting specific classes of people.

Verified: This is from the Electronic Frontier Foundation's November 2018 article "If A Pre-Trial Risk Assessment Tool Does Not Satisfy These Criteria, It Needs to Stay Out of the Courtroom." The EFF URL was blocked by WebFetch, but web search confirms EFF's authorship, the exact text quoted, and the November 2018 date. Year 2018 is correct. The vote "for" on "Mandate third-party audits for major AI systems" aligns with EFF's explicit call for "regular independent audits" and public access to source code.
