MIT 6.S191: AI Bias and Fairness

MIT's Introduction to Deep Learning Lecture 8 presented by Ava Soleimany, provides a comprehensive overview of Algorithmic Bias and Fairness. The lecture explores the definition of bias, its implications in machine learning, and its presence throughout the AI life cycle. It introduces a taxonomy of common biases and discusses interpretation-driven biases and data-driven biases.
Strategies for mitigating biases in models and datasets are presented, including automated debiasing and adaptive latent space debiasing. Viewers are encouraged to critically assess the presence of racial and gender bias in their models and to strive for continuous improvement. By highlighting the evaluation process, the lecture underscores the significance of not only building fair models but also ensuring they remain fair over time.
