Data bias

Towards risk-aware artificial intelligence and machine learning systems: An overview

Zhang et al. (2022)

Sub-category
Risk Domain

Unequal treatment of individuals or groups by AI, often based on race, gender, or other sensitive characteristics, resulting in unfair outcomes and unfair representation of those groups.

"Specifically, data bias refers to certain groups or certain types of elements that are over-weighted or over-represented than others in AI/ ML models, or variables that are crucial to characterize a phenomenon of interest, but are not properly captured by the learned models."(p. 2)
