artificial-intelligence-ai.
Course Modules:
Module 1: Introduction to Bias in AI Systems
Types of bias (historical, label, selection, algorithmic)
Why technical fixes alone aren’t enough
Overview of the AI fairness lifecycle
Module 2: Measuring Fairness with Metrics
Group fairness: demographic parity, equal opportunity, predictive equality
Individual fairness and counterfactual fairness
When and how to apply fairness metrics
Module 3: Bias Detection Tools and Libraries
IBM’s AIF360 toolkit
Fairlearn for model evaluation and dashboards
SHAP & LIME for interpretability and feature impact analysis
Module 4: Preprocessing Bias Mitigation
Reweighing, oversampling, undersampling
Removing bias proxies and repairing datasets
Using pipelines to clean and balance data
Module 5: In-Processing and Post-Processing Techniques
Fairness-aware training (e.g., adversarial debiasing)
Adding constraints to model optimization
Equalizing outcomes with calibrated outputs
Module 6: Capstone Project – Bias Mitigation Workflow
Choose a biased dataset (e.g., income prediction, recidivism, resume screening)
Audit for bias using fairness metrics and tools
Apply at least one mitigation technique and report outcomes
Tools & Technologies Used:
Python, Scikit-learn, Pandas
Fairlearn, AIF360, SHAP, LIME
Google Colab or Jupyter Notebooks
Optional: DVC for tracking model fairness over time
