Procedural Fairness
Procedural fairness in artificial intelligence focuses on ensuring that AI systems make decisions equitably across different demographic groups, mitigating biases that can lead to discriminatory outcomes. Current research emphasizes developing and evaluating fairness-aware algorithms and models, including those based on adversarial learning, data augmentation techniques like mixup, and distributionally robust optimization, across various applications like healthcare, process analytics, and recommender systems. This research is crucial for building trustworthy AI systems and addressing societal concerns about algorithmic bias, impacting both the development of ethical AI guidelines and the practical deployment of AI in sensitive domains.
