About AiKenya
Algorithmic bias
Occurs when a computer system reflects the implicit values of its human designers in its behavior
Illustrative examples of algorithmic bias
May 2009
Facial recognition software by Nikon wrongly assumes people of Asian descent are blinking
June 2015
Google photos tagging people as animals
May 2016 - Biased recidivism against blacks
COMP AS (Correctional Offender Management Profiling for Alternative Sanctions )
Bias may be a human problem, but amplification of bias is a technical problem — a mathematically explainable and controllable by product of the way models are trained.
Areas to pay attention to, to minimize bias and observe ethics
- Data collection – Minimize sampling bias
- Data handling (GDPR)
- T
erms and conditions – permissions (how data collected is used)
How can we reduce bias in products and services we offer?
- 1. Advocate for explainability in models (xAI)
- 2. Involvement in Open audits (sharing
datasets and requesting for feedback)
- 3. Investing in R&D
- 4. Open source is your friend
