- What does demographic parity require in algorithmic fairness?
Show answer
Model predictions should be independent of protected attributes or demographic groups
- Define equalized odds as a fairness metric.
Show answer
Equal true positive and false positive rates across different demographic groups
- What is individual fairness in AI?
Show answer
Similar individuals should receive similar treatment from an algorithm regardless of group membership
- What does calibration mean in fairness contexts?
Show answer
Predicted probabilities accurately reflect actual outcomes across all demographic groups
- What is selection bias in machine learning?
Show answer
Bias introduced when training data is not representative due to non-random sampling or data collection
- Define representation bias.
Show answer
Training data underrepresents certain demographic groups or populations
- What is measurement bias?
Show answer
Systematic error in how variables are measured, defined, or collected across groups
- Explain feedback loops in algorithmic bias.
Show answer
Past biased predictions influence future training data, perpetuating and amplifying the original bias
- What is historical bias in AI?
Show answer
Bias reflecting historical inequalities or prejudices present in the world or training data
- What is the fairness-accuracy tradeoff?
Show answer
Optimizing for fairness often requires accepting lower overall model accuracy or performance
- What is explainable AI (XAI)?
Show answer
Making AI and machine learning model decisions transparent and understandable to humans
- What does LIME stand for?
Show answer
Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations, explains predictions by approximating model behavior locally
- What is SHAP?
Show answer
SHapley Additive exPlanations, assigns importance values to features based on cooperative game theory
- What is the difference between interpretability and explainability?
Show answer
Interpretability is inherent transparency in model design; explainability is post-hoc explanation of decisions
- What are black box models?
Show answer
Models whose internal decision-making process is opaque, complex, or difficult for humans to understand
