Machine Learning Fairness vs Traditional Statistics
Developers should learn and apply Machine Learning Fairness when building or deploying models in domains like hiring, lending, criminal justice, healthcare, and education, where biased decisions can cause significant harm to individuals and society meets developers should learn traditional statistics when working on data analysis, machine learning, or research projects that require robust inference from data, such as a/b testing in software development, quality control in manufacturing, or scientific studies. Here's our take.
