Fairness and Bias in Artificial Intelligence: A Brief Survey of Sources, Impacts, and Mitigation Strategies
The significant advancements in applying artificial intelligence (AI) to healthcare decision-making, medical diagnosis, and other domains have simultaneously raised concerns about the fairness and bias of AI systems. This is particularly critical in areas like healthcare, employment, criminal justice, credit scoring, and increasingly, in generative AI models (GenAI) that produce synthetic media. Such systems can lead to unfair outcomes and perpetuate existing inequalities, including generative biases that affect…
Using mitigation approaches such as diverse and representative datasets and enhanced transparency and accountability can improve fairness of AI systems applied to healthcare decision-making and medical diagnosis.
AI systems applied to healthcare decision-making, medical diagnosis, and other domains can lead to unfair outcomes that perpetuate existing inequalities and reinforce harmful stereotypes, including generative biases in synthetic media.
Generative AI presents unique challenges requiring tailored mitigation strategies rather than general approaches alone.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0813 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
