Run a Bias Audit
Investigate an AI system or scenario for unfairness.
Your mission
Audit an AI system (or a realistic scenario) for bias, document what you find, and recommend fixes.
What you'll need
- A computer with internet
- An AI tool or a described scenario to audit
- A document for your findings
Your step-by-step plan
Choose a target
Pick an AI system or scenario — image generation, a recommendation feed, a hiring tool.
Test for patterns
Try varied inputs and record whether some groups are treated differently.
Document the bias
Write up what you found, with specific examples.
Recommend fixes
Suggest how the bias could be reduced — better data, audits, human review.
Make it yours
- Trace where the bias most likely came from.
- Propose how you would test that a fix actually worked.
How you'll know you succeeded
- The audit uses specific, recorded tests.
- Findings are backed by examples.
- Concrete fixes are recommended.
