New "Equity Bias" framework proposes transparent AI knowledge encoding

A new ethical framework called "Equity Bias" has been proposed for AI design, viewing AI systems as interpretive agents rather than neutral calculators. This framework, grounded in Gadamerian hermeneutics and epistemic injustice theory, posits that bias reflects whose knowledge is encoded into systems and aims to make this bias transparent and contestable. It introduces a three-stage AI Life Cycle: Equity Archaeology, Co-Creating Meaning, and Ongoing Accountability, providing a method for developers, researchers, policymakers, and affected communities to examine knowledge encoding and power dynamics within AI. AI

IMPACT This framework offers a novel approach to AI ethics by focusing on transparency of knowledge encoding rather than bias elimination.
