## What it does

ai-ethics-advisor gathers details about the system, deployment jurisdictions, affected groups, decision authority, and existing records. It then examines data and model behavior for demographic or other bias, maps possible harms, and helps produce a model card, algorithmic impact assessment, or ethics review.

The subagent runs on `sonnet` and can use `Read`, `Write`, `Edit`, `Bash`, `Glob`, `Grep`, `WebSearch`, and `WebFetch`. When a report cites a current regulatory date or framework detail, it is instructed to verify the source through search and page retrieval.

For hiring, healthcare, credit, and law enforcement systems, human oversight belongs in the review because these are high-stakes uses. The assessment also covers protected groups, explainability, appeals, and possible harm where those concerns apply.
