Fairness in AI projects

You're part of a team developing an AI student admission system for universities. This system aims to fairly evaluate applicants based on various factors. The team considers three different approaches to assess fairness in the project, including disparate impact, equal opportunity and demographic parity.

Learn about the fundamental theory behind responsible data management in AI. You’ll review key dimensions such as security, transparency, fairness, and more before conceptualizing the metrics and challenges associated with these dimensions and understanding how to balance responsible AI with other business and technical requirements.

Exercise 1: Responsible data dimensions Exercise 2: Developing AI responsibly Exercise 3: Dimensions of responsible data Exercise 4: Responsible AI metrics Exercise 5: Planning a responsible AI project Exercise 6: Responsible data use Exercise 7: Fairness in AI projects

Exercise 8: Challenges of responsible AI Exercise 9: Trade-offs in responsible AI Exercise 10: Professional duties and ethical conduct

Data regulation is essential to the legality of any AI project. Learn about key regulations, third-party licenses, and compliance strategies for informed consent and data-sharing agreements (with legal counsel). Finally, you'll learn about developing robust data governance strategies and management plans to ensure your project remains compliant throughout its lifecycle.

Navigate through the responsible selection and integration of data sources by understanding the importance of data origin, nature, and temporality, emphasizing legal compliance, diversity, and fairness. By exploring types of bias and their origins, you’ll look at data fairness and representation to create a comprehensive dataset for modeling.
