  • Even if companies do not include sensitive data in their analyses, the technology used can still indirectly lead to systematic disadvantaging of certain consumers.

    “Even if companies make efforts not to include such sensitive (synthetic) data in their analyses, the technology used can still indirectly lead to the systematic disadvantaging of certain (groups of) consumers (Calders & Žliobaitė, 2013).”
  • Even if companies do not directly use sensitive data, neutral characteristics can still be correlated to sensitive characteristics.

    “Even if companies do not directly use sensitive data in their analyses, neutral characteristics can still be correlated to sensitive characteristics (Calders & Žliobaitė, 2013;Solove, 2024).”
  • Weights can be introduced to place lower/higher importance on sensitive training samples.

    “Weights can be introduced for multiple purposes: 1) to indicate a frequency count for an instance type (e.g.[52]), 2) to place lower/higher importance on łsensitivež training samples (e.g.[53,152,165]), or 3) to improve classiier stability (e.g.[181]).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
