AI Ethics and Fairness

Addressing bias, transparency and societal impact.

How it works

Concerns include bias, privacy, transparency, accountability, safety and misuse. Fairness metrics (demographic parity, equalized odds) can conflict; audits and documentation (model cards) help.

Where it is used

Responsible deployment.

Common pitfall

Removing a sensitive attribute does not remove proxy bias.

Where it fits in the course
