Abstract

A bias detection method, system, and computer program product to evaluate bias in an artificial intelligence service include selecting a bias context, the bias context having a bias specification associated with the bias context, generating test data for determining the bias in the artificial intelligence service based on the bias specification and the bias context, and testing the artificial intelligence service for the bias with the generated test data.

Claims (31)

1. A computer-implemented bias detection method to evaluate bias in an artificial intelligence service, the method comprising:

selecting a bias context, the bias context having a bias specification associated with the bias context;

generating test data for determining the bias in the artificial intelligence service based on the bias specification and the bias context; and

testing the artificial intelligence service for the bias with the generated test data.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the bias specification is modified for a specific type of bias.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the bias specification identifies one or more variables and corresponding bias values.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the bias context identifies a decision-making scenario and corresponding entities, attributes, regulations, and scope.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising learning a correlation between the bias specification and the bias context from the generated test data.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the bias specification is hierarchical and extendable.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , embodied in a cloud-computing environment.

8. A computer program product for bias detection to evaluate bias in an artificial intelligence service, the computer program product comprising a computer-readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computer to cause the computer to perform:

selecting a bias context, the bias context having a bias specification associated with the bias context;

generating test data for determining the bias in the artificial intelligence service based on the bias specification and the bias context; and

testing the artificial intelligence service for the bias with the generated test data.

9. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the bias specification is modified for a specific type of bias.

10. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the bias specification identifies one or more variables and corresponding bias values.

11. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the bias context identifies a decision-making scenario and corresponding entities, attributes, regulations, and scope.

12. The computer program product of claim 8 , further comprising learning a correlation between the bias specification and the bias context from the generated test data.

13. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the bias specification is hierarchical and extendable.

14. A bias detection system to evaluate bias in an artificial intelligence service, the system comprising:

a processor, and

a memory, the memory storing instructions to cause the processor to perform:

selecting a bias context, the bias context having a bias specification associated with the bias context;

generating test data for determining the bias in the artificial intelligence service based on the bias specification and the bias context; and

testing the artificial intelligence service for the bias with the generated test data.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the bias specification is modified for a specific type of bias.

16. The system of claim 14 , wherein the bias specification identifies one or more variables and corresponding bias values.

17. The system of claim 14 , wherein the bias context identifies a decision-making scenario and corresponding entities, attributes, regulations, and scope.

18. The system of claim 14 , further comprising learning a correlation between the bias specification and the bias context from the generated test data.

19. The system of claim 14 , wherein the bias specification is hierarchical and extendable.

20. The system of claim 14 , embodied in a cloud-computing environment.
