Abstract

Algorithmic Decision-Making Systems (ADMS) 1 fairness issues have been well highlighted over the past decade [1] , including some facial recognition systems struggling to identify people of color [2] . In 2021, Uber drivers filed a claim with the U.K. ’s employment tribunal for unfair dismissal resulting from automated facial recognition technology by Microsoft [3] . Bias mitigation methods have been developed to reduce discrimination from ADMS. These typically operationalize fairness notions as fairness metrics to minimize discrimination [4] . We refer to ADMS to which bias mitigation methods have been applied as “mitigated ADMS” or, in the singular, a “mitigated system.”
调查英国减少偏见方法的合法性
过去十年来,算法决策系统(ADMS)1 的公平性问题一直备受关注[1],其中包括一些面部识别系统在识别有色人种方面的困难[2]。2021 年,Uber 司机向英国就业法庭提起诉讼,指控微软公司的自动人脸识别技术造成了不公平解雇[3]。为了减少 ADMS 带来的歧视,人们开发了减少偏见的方法。这些方法通常将公平概念作为公平指标来操作,以尽量减少歧视[4]。我们将采用了偏差缓解方法的 ADMS 称为 "缓解 ADMS",或单称 "缓解系统"。
