Act in such a way that you treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of any other, never merely as a means to an end, but always at the same time as an end. —Immanuel Kant, Grounding for the Metaphysics of Morals Algorithm fairness in the application of artificial intelligence (AI) is essential for a better society. As the foundational axiom of social mechanisms, fairness consists of multiple facets. Although the machine learning (ML) community has focused on intersectionality…

A Review on Fairness in Machine Learning

An overview of the main concepts of identifying, measuring, and improving algorithmic fairness when using ML algorithms, focusing primarily on classification tasks is presented.

Deontological Ethics By Monotonicity Shape Constraints

It is proposed that in some cases ethical principles such as "favor the less fortunate," and "do not penalize good attributes" can be incorporated into a machine-learned model by adding shape constraints that constrain the model to respond only positively to relevant inputs.

Human Decisions and Machine Predictions

While machine learning can be valuable, realizing this value requires integrating these tools into an economic framework: being clear about the link between predictions and decisions; specifying the scope of payoff functions; and constructing unbiased decision counterfactuals.

Fairness-Aware Machine Learning: Practical Challenges and Lessons Learned

This tutorial aims to present an overview of algorithmic bias / discrimination issues observed over the last few years and the lessons learned, key regulations and laws, and evolution of techniques for achieving fairness in machine learning systems.

Certifying and Removing Disparate Impact

This work links disparate impact to a measure of classification accuracy that while known, has received relatively little attention and proposes a test for disparate impact based on how well the protected class can be predicted from the other attributes.

The accuracy, fairness, and limits of predicting recidivism

It is shown that the widely used commercial risk assessment software COMPAS is no more accurate or fair than predictions made by people with little or no criminal justice expertise.

Ethics of artificial intelligence and robotics

Artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics are digital technologies that will have significant impact on the development of humanity in the near future. They have raised fundamental questions about…

Monotonic Neural Additive Models: Pursuing Regulated Machine Learning Models for Credit Scoring

A novel class of monotonic neural additive models, which meet regulatory requirements by simplifying neural network architecture and enforcing monotonicity, are introduced, which are as accurate as black-box fully-connected neural networks, providing a highly accurate and regulated machine learning method.

Formal Approaches to Social Procedures

The goals of research in formal approaches to social procedures are modeling social situations, developing theories of correctness, and (re-)designing social procedures.

Co-Designing Checklists to Understand Organizational Challenges and Opportunities around Fairness in AI

It is found that AI fairness checklists could provide organizational infrastructure for formalizing ad-hoc processes and empowering individual advocates, and highlight aspects of organizational culture that may impact the efficacy of AI fairnessChecklists.
