Bias Audit

A systematic evaluation of an AI system to detect, measure and document biases in its data, algorithms or outcomes, often conducted by independent third parties.

A formal checkup to see if an AI is being unfair. Like a financial audit looks for accounting errors, a bias audit looks for discrimination; often done by an outside team for objectivity.

Regular bias audits are becoming a regulatory expectation. Incorporating independent bias audits into your AI governance framework demonstrates due diligence and provides defensible evidence of responsible AI practices.
