Social - Fairness-as-a-Service case study
Environment
A capability helping to eliminate Artificial
Intelligence bias in decisioning
The issue
There is a growing public awareness that the
computer processes relied on to make
financial, healthcare, hiring or housing
decisions may suffer from unintentional bias.
These automated systems, often introduced
for cost efficiencies and handling of complex
datasets, could be making decisions that are
inadvertently sexist, racist or discriminatory
Unfairness may come from multiple sources,
including the underlying algorithm and the
data introduced during development. During
its training phase a machine-learning
algorithm may become 'tainted' with historical
bias because its learning from historical data
which is already inherently biased from when
these decisions were made exclusively by
humans.
Our response
We've created and patented the first end-to-
end Fairness-as-a-Service platform.
It provides a unique combination of a
decisioning platform, normative data and
state-of-the-art algorithmic expertise, that
helps answer the question 'What is fairness in
AI?'.
The roll-out is envisioned as a multi-industry,
global offering that enables cross-selling
opportunities for the Experian Ascend platform
and Experian's data resources as well as
supporting Experian's mission of enabling fair
and impactful data-driven decisioning across
the globe.

The product
It will help banks, consumers, regulators,
universities and large organisations to:
1. Evaluate fairness - how fair is their data
and model
2. Explain models - do they understand their
model's predictions globally and also at an
individual basis
3. Train fair models - so they are both
predictive and fair
4. Apply fairness - so they can update their
models to make them fair, as well as amend
models' decisions to make those decisions
fair.
