Bias Drift Detection: Keeping AI Fair Over Time

What is Bias Drift Detection?

Bias Drift Detection is a way to make sure AI stays fair. Over time, AI can start making unfair choices without anyone noticing. This happens when the data it learns from changes, but no one updates the AI. Bias Drift Detection watches for these changes and fixes them before they cause problems.

Why Does AI Become Unfair?

AI learns from data, and if that data changes, the AI might start making different choices. Sometimes, those choices can be unfair. Here’s why:

• New Data: The world changes, and AI needs new data to keep up. If the new data is different from the old data, AI might start treating people unfairly.
• Hidden Bias: AI might pick up unfair patterns from past data and repeat them in new ways.
• Bad Training: If no one checks on the AI, it can keep making mistakes and getting worse over time.

How Bias Drift Detection Works

Bias Drift Detection is like a fairness check-up for AI. It works in three main steps:

1. Monitoring: The AI is watched over time to see if it starts making different choices.
2. Detecting Drift: If AI starts treating some people unfairly, the system notices the change.
3. Retraining: The AI is updated with better, fairer data so it doesn’t make the same mistakes.

Why Bias Drift Detection Matters

Without Bias Drift Detection, AI can become unfair and cause problems. Here are some examples:

• Hiring Systems: If an AI used for hiring starts favoring one group over another, it could stop good people from getting jobs.
• Loan Approvals: If an AI decides who gets a loan, but starts rejecting people unfairly, it can hurt communities.
• Medical AI: If an AI gives wrong advice because of outdated data, it could affect people’s health.
