Active Fairness Instead of Unawareness
The possible risk that AI systems could promote discrimination by reproducing and enforcing unwanted bias in data has been broadly discussed in research and society. Many current legal standards demand to remove sensitive attributes from data in order to achieve "fairness through unawareness". We argue that this approach is obsolete in the era of big data where large datasets with highly correlated attributes are common. In the contrary, we propose the active use of sensitive attributes with the purpose of observing and controlling any kind of discrimination, and thus leading to fair results.

Measuring Fairness Under Unawareness of Sensitive Attributes: A Quantification-Based Approach
Algorithms and models are increasingly deployed to inform decisions about people, inevitably affecting their lives. As a consequence, those in charge of developing these models must carefully evaluate their impact on dif…
FairnessToward A Logical Theory Of Fairness and Bias
Fairness in machine learning is of considerable interest in recent years owing to the propensity of algorithms trained on historical data to amplify and perpetuate historical biases. In this paper, we argue for a formal …

Fairness through Unawareness (FtU) describes the idea that discrimination against demographic groups can be avoided by not considering group membership in the decisions or predictions. This idea has long been criticized …
FairnessReducing Unintended Bias of ML Models on Tabular and Textual Data
Unintended biases in machine learning (ML) models are among the major concerns that must be addressed to maintain public trust in ML. In this paper, we address process fairness of ML models that consists in reducing the …
