arXiv:2605.22291v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-term fairness algorithms aim to satisfy fairness beyond static and short-term notions by accounting for the dynamics between decision-making policies and population behavior. Most previous approaches evaluate performance and fairness measures from observable features and a label, which is assumed to be fully observed. However, in scenarios such as hiring or lending, the labels (e.g., ability to repay the loan) are selective labels as they are only revealed based on positive decisions (e.g., when a loan is granted). In this paper, we study lo
The increasing deployment of AI in critical decision-making processes necessitates more robust fairness considerations beyond static metrics, especially as AI systems influence real-world outcomes with long-term effects.
This research addresses a fundamental challenge in AI fairness, moving beyond short-term assessments to account for dynamic interactions and selective label issues, which are critical for ethical and effective AI deployment in sensitive sectors like finance and employment.
AI fairness algorithms are evolving to incorporate long-term dynamics and partial observability of critical labels, pushing for more sophisticated and context-aware ethical frameworks that better reflect real-world decision-making complexities.

Improved fairness and accountability in AI-driven decisions where labels are partially observed, such as loan approvals or hiring.
Increased trust in AI systems due to a more nuanced understanding and mitigation of long-term and systemic biases, potentially leading to broader AI adoption in regulated industries.
New regulatory frameworks and compliance standards emerging, demanding proof of long-term fairness considerations and selective label handling in AI deployments.
