Bias detection in AI is about finding and understanding biases that might cause unfair or harmful decisions. ⚠️ It considers sensitive attributes like gender, ethnicity, or socio-economic background—things that can shape how someone is treated. This process helps make AI systems more fair and respectful of everyone’s differences. ❤️ Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna | Umeå universitet | University College Cork | The Adecco Group | Akkodis | Philips | LOBA | ALLAI | PERIOD think tank | Women in AI | Eurocadres | ITI |Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV)) |Universidad de La Lagunaa

Looking for something new to watch? 🎥 Lisa Russell, a Women in AI Kenya ambassador, has created "Last Broadcast from Earth," a stunning AI-generated short film. Debuted at the AI for Good Film Festival during the AI For Good Global Summit, it tells a haunting tale of love, loss, and warning from a future where Earth has been abandoned. Every part of the film—script, visuals, voice—was produced entirely by AI, showcasing its incredible potential and risks. Lisa emphasises that artists rooted in justice and community must lead responsible AI storytelling. Watch it, reflect, and share this compelling message. 🎬 https://lnkd.in/g23vReUq

What is synthetic data, and why does it matter? 🧠 Synthetic data is artificially generated using real datasets and models trained to reproduce the original data’s characteristics and structure. In this video, Paul Lemmens from Philips Innovation and Strategy, coordinator of #AEQUITAS’s Work Package 7, introduces the Data Synthesiser — a key output of the project — and explains how it will support fairness and innovation in AI. 🎥👉 https://lnkd.in/d5Uj-V-U
