Description: Model fairness in the context of MLOps refers to the fundamental principle that machine learning models should make decisions without bias against any demographic or social group. This means that algorithms must be designed and trained in such a way that their outcomes are fair and equitable, avoiding discrimination based on race, gender, age, sexual orientation, among other factors. Model fairness not only focuses on the accuracy of predictions but also on the fairness of the decisions these models generate. To achieve this, it is essential to implement development practices that include careful data selection, bias evaluation, and continuous validation of models in various contexts. Model fairness is crucial in applications where automated decisions can significantly impact people’s lives, such as in healthcare, criminal justice, and hiring processes. The lack of fairness can lead to harmful outcomes and perpetuate existing inequalities, highlighting the importance of addressing this aspect throughout the lifecycle of machine learning models.
