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

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:

1. The most common bias patterns to watch for [01:32]
2. How to diagnose whether bias exists in your model [04:44]
3. The three levels where bias can be addressed [07:13]
4. Where to intervene for maximum impact [08:17]
