Fairness Metric

A Fairness Metric is a quantitative measure of how equitably an AI system performs across groups. Different metrics capture different conceptions of fairness — demographic parity, equalized odds, predictive parity, individual fairness, counterfactual fairness, and many others. Researchers have shown that several common metrics are mathematically incompatible, meaning teams must consciously choose which one applies to their context. The choice depends on the legal regime (some regulations specify metrics), the stakes (medical decisions vs marketing offers), the population, and stakeholder values. Tools that compute fairness metrics include Fairlearn, AI Fairness 360, Aequitas, FairML, and several commercial fairness platforms. AI governance, AI compliance, and AI ethics frameworks require explicit metric choice with documented justification — not because any one metric is universally correct, but because the choice must be visible, defensible, and aligned with the system's purpose. This documentation supports responsible AI and AI risk management across enterprise AI portfolios.
