Measuring AI Fairness in a Continuum Maintaining Nuances: A Robustness Case Study (2024)
Journal Article
Paxton, K., Aslansefat, K., Thakker, D., & Papadopoulos, Y. (2024). Measuring AI Fairness in a Continuum Maintaining Nuances: A Robustness Case Study. IEEE Internet Computing, 28(5), 11-19. https://doi.org/10.1109/MIC.2024.3450815

As machine learning is increasingly making decisions about hiring or healthcare, we want AI to treat ethnic and socioeconomic groups fairly. Fairness is currently measured by comparing the average accuracy of reasoning across groups. We argue that im...
