Bias and fairness in AI are important concerns as AI systems influence decisions in areas such as employment, healthcare, and justice. Bias arises from problems with data (e.g., historical or sampling bias), algorithmic design, and implementation context. This can lead to discrimination, inequality, and loss of trust. Fairness in AI seeks to eliminate bias by promoting equal opportunity, demographic parity, and transparency. Addressing these issues requires using diverse datasets, fairness-respecting algorithms, human oversight, ethical frameworks, and ongoing monitoring. Despite challenges such as fair trade-offs in terms of accuracy and cultural differences, ensuring fairness is key to building responsible, inclusive, and trustworthy AI systems.
