Determine applicability: Consider this question if there is any potential bias due to the impact or use of sensitive attributes in input or output when developing an AI model for the healthcare sector, and determine if the requirement has been satisfied.
• An AI model learns the potential biases in data and even amplifies biases. It is advisable to implement techniques to not only remove potential biases in data during data cleansing but also remove or mitigate model bias in model development.
• Bias can be a general situation in which biological factors are reflected in the problem of implementing AI models in the healthcare sector, such as diseases that only occur in certain genders or disproportionately in certain races. Nevertheless, there are diseases that can affect individuals of all ages, genders, and ethnicities. Hence, observe caution when constructing an AI model for the purpose of diagnosing these diseases, as it can lead to significant issues such as social and ethical biases and varying misdiagnosis rates based on race.
• These techniques are divided into three based on the implementation stage of the bias mitigation method: pre-processing, in-processing, and post-processing. Select and implement an appropriate technique depending on the AI model, objectives, and mission.
