Fair machine guidance aims to educate individuals on making unbiased decisions by leveraging fairness-aware machine learning to identify and address their biases.
Özet
The content describes the development and evaluation of an AI system, called "fair machine guidance", that aims to educate individuals on making unbiased decisions. The key highlights and insights are:
Existing approaches to address biases, such as raising awareness and providing training, have had limited effects on improving decision-making. The authors argue that guidance on how to adjust responses effectively is crucial.
The fair machine guidance system uses fairness-aware machine learning to analyze the user's decision criteria and provide personalized guidance on how to make fairer judgments. It presents the user's biased decision criteria and compares it to a fair model, offering advice on how to adjust their decision-making.
In a between-subjects experiment with 99 participants, the authors compared fair machine guidance to a baseline method that simply provided numerical bias feedback.
The results showed that fair machine guidance encouraged participants to think more critically about fairness, reflect on their biases, and adjust their decision-making criteria, even though the overall bias reduction was similar between the two methods.
The study provides insights into the design of AI systems for guiding fair decision-making in humans, highlighting the importance of stimulating critical engagement and self-reflection rather than just focusing on the acceptance or rejection of AI suggestions.

"Although educational programs and tools have been developed to address biases when judging people, a recent survey showed that their effects are limited."
"Wilson and Brekke argued that simply being aware of biases and having the motivation to correct them is insufficient to address them."
"Although numerous studies have examined user behavior in AI-assisted decision-making, few have investigated the role of AI in teaching decision-making skills."
