IT & Software → Machine Learning → Bias and Fairness → Introduction to Bias and Fairness

Overview

Bias and fairness in machine learning are crucial topics that help ensure technology treats everyone fairly. Bias can occur when data used to train models reflects unfair stereotypes or inequalities. Understanding these concepts helps us create better algorithms that promote fairness and reduce discrimination. In this introduction, students will learn about different types of bias and why fairness is essential in AI applications.
