5.4 Reducing bias

NCA-GENL · Trustworthy AI (10% of the exam) · Official objective: “Describe how to minimize bias in AI systems.”

Where unwanted bias comes from and how to reduce it.

Key points

  1. AI models are often trained on data limited in size, scope and diversity. NVIDIA says reducing unwanted bias is important so all people and communities can benefit.

    What NVIDIA says (2)

    “AI models are trained by humans, often using data that is limited by size, scope and diversity.”

    — What Is Trustworthy AI?

    “To ensure that all people and communities have the opportunity to benefit from this technology, it’s important to reduce unwanted bias in AI systems.”
