A new benchmark for evaluating fairness in Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) has been introduced, addressing data bias, spurious features, and hardware effects. This framework integrates datasets with controlled bias injections and neuromorphic hardware simulators to analyze fairness-performance trade-offs under resource constraints. Evaluations revealed that biased training data can increase false positive rates for underrepresented groups by 23%, while hardware limitations can further amplify accuracy gaps by up to 41% in edge deployments. The research highlights the need for co-design principles that optimize both fairness and hardware efficiency for trustworthy SNNs in critical applications. AI
