Raji says FAccT papers are heavily cited in NIST, FTC and DOJ AI policy docs
rajiinio · x · 2026-07-23
Raji argues that FAccT work is cited heavily across AI governance documents — including the NIST RMF, GAO’s AI accountability framework, NTIA’s accountability report, FTC memos, and DOJ settlements.
The core question is whether FAccT has produced a single paper or tightly connected line of work in the last decade with impact comparable to Gender Shades. The thread is framed as a disagreement about how to measure research impact, with the implication that citation counts in policy documents may matter more than conference prestige alone.
