fairness and algorithmic bias
What is fairness in AI?
What is fairness? In many ways, bias and fairness in AI are two sides of the same coin. While there is no universally agreed upon definition for fairness, we can broadly define fairness as the absence of prejudice or preference for an individual or group based on their characteristics.
What is algorithm fairness?
Algorithm fairness is actually a bit of a misleading term. Algorithms, by themselves, are not inherently biased. They are just mathematical functions. By training one of these algorithms on data, we obtain a machine learning model. It is the introduction of biased data that will lead to a biased model.
What is algorithmic bias?
Algorithmic bias is a discriminatory case of algorithmic outcomes having an adversarial impact on protected or unprotected groups. It occurs when algorithms distribute benefits and burdens unequally among different stakeholders due to differences in their characteristics, talents, or luck (Akter et al., 2021; Kordzadeh & Ghasemaghaei, 2021 ).
Does de-biasing data solve the problem of algorithmic fairness?
Researchers suggest that the narrow focus on de-biasing data for improving algorithms does not solve the purpose (Dolata et al., 2021; Kordzadeh & Ghasemaghaei, 2021; Marjanovic et al., 2021 ). Researchers argue that the concept of algorithmic fairness is dynamic. Its normative understanding is shifting with time and context.
