Meaning ● An Algorithmic Autonomy Audit, in the SMB business context, constitutes a structured evaluation of automated decision-making systems to ensure alignment with business objectives, regulatory compliance, and ethical considerations. For small to medium-sized enterprises, this audit scrutinizes how algorithms impact key processes like marketing automation, customer service chatbots, and inventory management systems, mitigating potential risks associated with biased outputs or unintended operational consequences. This assessment includes reviewing the algorithms’ data sources, the logic behind their decisions, and the oversight mechanisms in place.
