Who Checks the Model? A Deep Dive into AI Bias Audits
from DESIGNathon · host Anne Cantera & Mahnaz Hajesmaeili
DESIGNathon S2 Episode 2 - Who Checks the Model? A Deep Dive into AI Bias AuditsA hiring algorithm that screens out women. A healthcare model trained almost entirely on white male data. A content system that amplifies harm faster than anyone can catch it. These aren't hypotheticals — they shipped. And in most cases, the bias was there long before the product was. This episode gets into the unglamorous, necessary work of catching it first: what bias audits actually look like, where datasets quietly go wrong, and what it takes to interrupt harmful patterns before they reach real people. This is the episode for anyone who's ever asked "but who checks the model?"Speakers: Yaddy ArroyoChristian OrtizDr. Shaista HussainHosts: Anne Cantera Mahnaz Hajesmaeili
