OII researchers head to FAccT 2026
FAccT 2026 proceedings will surface peer-reviewed research on AI alignment and algorithmic accountability — useful inputs for APS governance frameworks.
Key points
- OII researchers present four papers at ACM FAccT 2026 in Montréal covering AI fairness, accountability, and transparency.
- Research themes include preference alignment, AI-assisted fact-checking, and platform moderation equity — relevant to AI governance practitioners.
- This is a conference attendance announcement; substantive findings are worth tracking once published in proceedings.
Implications for Australian agencies
- Monitor AI governance and policy teams may want to monitor the FAccT '26 proceedings once published, particularly the preference alignment and AI transparency papers, as inputs to policy development.
Implications are AI-generated. Starting points, not advice — see methodology for how they're framed.

Oxford Internet Institute researchers will present four peer-reviewed papers and one CRAFT workshop at ACM FAccT 2026 (25–28 June, Montréal). Topics include how professional fact-checkers navigate generative AI tools, the plurality of user preferences for AI alignment, and language disparities in platform content moderation workforces. The moderation paper draws on EU Digital Services Act transparency reports to audit six major platforms. These papers will be published in the FAccT '26 proceedings and represent current academic thinking on AI governance challenges relevant to transparency, accountability, and equitable AI deployment.
Implications for Australian agencies:
- [Monitor] AI governance and policy teams may want to monitor the FAccT '26 proceedings once published, particularly the preference alignment and AI transparency papers, as inputs to policy development.
