  3. What is Bias/Fairness? 3 “Bias. When scientific or technological decisions are based on a narrow set of systemic, structural or social concepts and norms , the resulting technology can privilege certain groups and harm others.” – Nature comment Bias and Fairness in AI/ML models | Swati Gupta | Georgia Institute of Technology

Proxies : predicting crime using data on arrests , Not on incidence of crime . We do not want such biases to propagate into systems that make life-changing decisions.
