A Blueprint for Systematic Systematic Discrimination Detection

AI Summary: The task involves replicating a study that extracts Personally Identifiable Information (PII) from the GPT-2 language model using novel text perturbation techniques. This requires developing a Python script to systematically perturb input prompts, feed them to the GPT-2 model, and analyze the output for the presence of specific, known PII strings from a previous study. The goal is to validate a new method for probing AI systems for vulnerabilities.

A Blueprint for Systematic Systematic Discrimination Detection

AI Summary: The task is to design and implement a Python script that conducts an automated bias audit of Google's Gemini Flash large language model (LLM). The audit will involve sending pairs of prompts to the LLM: one clean and one with randomly introduced typos. The script will then analyze the LLM's responses to these prompts, measuring differences in response length, sentiment, refusal rate, and latency to detect potential bias related to typographical errors. The audit must adhere to ethical and legal guidelines, using only synthetic data and respecting rate limits.

A Blueprint for Systematic Systematic Discrimination Detection

AI Summary: The task is to expand an existing bias detection framework to include code generation and automated testing. This involves creating a new probe type for code generation, generating paired prompts (one with correct English, one with injected errors), collecting code responses from LLMs, implementing automated testing for the generated code, analyzing the results using objective metrics (test pass rate, functionality score), and integrating these findings into the existing bias analysis component. The goal is to quantitatively measure how linguistic variations in prompts affect the functionality of LLM-generated code.

A Blueprint for Systematic Systematic Discrimination Detection

AI Summary: The task involves expanding the scope of the 'Watching U Watching' project to audit the bias detection tools themselves. This requires researching and selecting target systems (AI fairness tools), running dual evaluations (comparing the project's paired testing with standard fairness tool analysis), and publishing the results, including mismatches and explanations. The project also needs to address its own methodological limitations and biases, and develop a standardized comparison metric. Collaboration with researchers, legal experts, and ESG specialists is needed.

A Blueprint for Systematic Systematic Discrimination Detection

AI Summary: The task involves replicating a study on ethnic discrimination in the German job market using an automated system. This requires identifying a suitable automated job application system, creating paired applications with German and Turkish-sounding names (without using LLMs), submitting them, and analyzing the response rates while rigorously redacting all PII from responses. The goal is to quantify any observed disparities, mirroring the original study's methodology.

A Blueprint for Systematic Systematic Discrimination Detection

AI Summary: The task is to design and execute an experiment using automated paired testing to detect and quantify potential systemic biases in a simulated Berlin housing market. The experiment will use a conversational AI model to simulate market responses to various user personas, with the goal of identifying biases related to perceived gender and ethnicity. The results will be analyzed using Fairlearn to measure disparities and determine statistical significance. The entire process must adhere to strict ethical guidelines, ensuring no harm to real individuals or organizations and avoiding the use of personally identifiable information.
