Episode 99: [Value Boost] Preventing ML Bias Before it Becomes a Problem

from Value Driven Data Science Hosted by Dr Genevieve Hayes

Biased machine learning models don't just produce poor predictions. They can damage reputations, derail projects, and in high-stakes fields like healthcare, potentially cause real harm. Yet many data scientists don't check for bias until it's too late, missing the opportunity to address it at its source. In this Value Boost episode, Serg Masis joins Dr. Genevieve Hayes to share practical techniques for detecting and mitigating bias in machine learning models before they become major problems for you and your stakeholders. You'll discover: The most common bias patterns to watch for [01:32] How to diagnose whether bias exists in your model [04:44] The three levels where bias can be addressed [07:13] Where to intervene for maximum impact [08:17] Guest Bio Serg Masis is the Principal AI Scientist at Syngenta, a leading agricultural company with a mission to improve global food security. He is also the author of Interpretable Machine Learning with Python and co-author of the upcoming DIY AI and Building Responsible AI with Python.
