Ehsan's Insight
AI bias is not an AI problem. It is a data problem that AI amplifies. Amazon's recruiting algorithm discriminated against women because it was trained on 10 years of resumes from a male-dominated hiring pipeline. The model learned the bias perfectly — that was the problem. The fix is not better algorithms. It is better data curation and explicit fairness constraints during training. The most practical tool I recommend: measure your model's performance across demographic subgroups before deployment. If accuracy varies by more than 5% between groups, do not deploy. This simple threshold prevents most bias-related incidents. Yet fewer than 15% of companies perform subgroup analysis.
