Study Notes
Algorithmic Bias in AI Systems
- Algorithmic bias occurs when AI systems make unfair or discriminatory decisions due to errors in their algorithms. It is unintentional; the system simply learned from biased data.
Types of Bias
-
Data Bias: Occurs when training data isn't representative of the real world, leading to skewed results. An example is a facial recognition system trained largely on light-skinned faces struggling with darker skin tones, disproportionately affecting certain racial groups. This is caused by unbalanced, skewed datasets from non-representative training data.
-
Model Bias: Arises during AI model design. If an algorithm prioritizes profit above all else, it might make biased decisions to maximize financial gain at the cost of fairness or safety, favoring profit maximization over fairness. This occurs during the design and architecture of the model itself.
-
Evaluation Bias: Occurs when the criteria used to judge an AI system's performance are themselves biased. Examples include educational assessment AI using standardized tests that favor a particular cultural or socioeconomic group, perpetuating educational inequalities. This is caused by biased assessment criteria.
-
Societal Bias: Involves human-created biases, such as stereotypes, influencing data labeling, model design, and AI system development. These biases reflect the prejudices and cognitive biases of the individuals and teams developing the AI technologies. This arises from subjective decisions in data labeling, model development, and other AI lifecycle stages.
-
Algorithmic Bias: Can arise even with unbiased data. Algorithms might unfairly select certain features or aspects to prioritize. This can lead to biased decisions, even with the data itself being unbiased. This occurs when the design and parameters of algorithms inadvertently introduce bias, regardless of data representativeness. For example, a robot deciding who gets a job may favor men if trained primarily on resumes from men, demonstrating unintended bias and highlighting the importance of analyzing data's representativeness for unbiased decisions.
