Measuring and Tracking Biases

Organizations can measure and track bias in their AI systems by implementing a combination of strategies:

AI Governance: Establishing AI governance frameworks to guide the responsible development and use of AI technologies, including policies and practices to identify and address bias [1] [2].
Bias Detection Tools: Utilizing tools like IBM’s AI Fairness 360 toolkit, which provides a library of algorithms to detect and mitigate bias in machine learning models [1].
Fairness Metrics: Applying fairness metrics that measure disparities in model performance across different groups to uncover hidden biases [3].
Exploratory Data Analysis: Conducting exploratory data analysis to reveal any underlying biases in the training data used for AI models [3].
Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Promoting collaborations between AI researchers and domain experts to gain insights into potential biases and their implications in specific fields [4].
Diverse Teams: Involving diverse teams in the development process to bring a variety of perspectives and reduce the risk of biased outcomes [5].

These measures help organizations to actively monitor and mitigate bias, ensuring their AI systems are fair and equitable.
