In this course, we will explore fundamental issues of fairness and bias in machine learning. As predictive models begin making important decisions, from college admission to loan decisions, it becomes paramount to keep models from making unfair predictions. From human bias to dataset awareness, we will explore many aspects of building more ethical models.

Syllabus - What you will learn from this course
Fairness and protections in machine learning
Welcome to the course! In week one, we will be discussing what fairness means in the context of machine learning and what true parity means in different scenarios
Building fair models: theory and practice
This week we will take action against unfairness. Now that we have an understanding of fairness issues, how do we build models that do not violate them?
Human factors: minimizing bias in data
This week, we will tackle the human biases that enter the data collection and attribute selection processes. The goal? Removing bias before the model is built

TOP REVIEWS FROM ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE DATA FAIRNESS AND BIAS
Extraodinary course! I've learnt so much! The classes are very informative and dynamic. Didn't feel like studying but rather entertaining myself with hight quality content! Thank you so much!
A relatively short and interesting course on data fairness and bias impacting AI models.
About the Ethics in the Age of AI Specialization
As machine learning models begin making important decisions based on massive datasets, we need to be aware of their limitations. In this specialization, we will explore the rise of algorithms, fundamental issues of fairness and bias in machine learning, and basic concepts involved in security and privacy of machine learning projects. We'll finish with a study of 3 projects that will allow you to put your new skills into action.
