New framework audits AI fairness across multiple sensitive attributes

Researchers have developed a new framework for auditing fairness in AI models, focusing on "multi-sensitive distributional fairness." This approach uses one-dimensional Wasserstein geometry to analyze disparities across multiple sensitive attributes simultaneously, rather than one at a time. The method distinguishes between conditional and sequential audits, and introduces a Hilbert-valued random variable whose variance represents the joint disparity, allowing for an order-free attribution of these disparities using Shapley values. AI

IMPACT Provides a more robust method for detecting and attributing fairness issues in AI models, particularly those involving complex intersections of sensitive attributes.

    Multi-Sensitive Distributional Fairness: Joint Wasserstein Audits and Shapley Allocation

    arXiv:2610.19252v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Fairness audits with several sensitive attributes are often performed one coordinate at a time. This can miss purely intersectional disparities: a score may be independent of each sensitive coordinate while depending on their join…
