arXiv:2601.02998v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In many fairness and distribution robustness problems, one has access to labeled data from multiple source distributions yet the test data may come from an arbitrary member or a mixture of them. We study the problem of constructing a conformal prediction set that is uniformly valid across multiple, heterogeneous distributions, in the sense that no matter which distribution the test point is from, the coverage of the prediction set is guaranteed to exceed a pre-specified level. We first propose a max-p aggregation scheme that delivers finite-s
The proliferation of AI models across diverse deployment environments, often with varying data distributions, necessitates robust solutions for reliable prediction and fairness.
This research addresses a critical challenge in AI reliability and safety by ensuring predictive validity across heterogeneous data, crucial for trusted AI applications in sensitive domains.
AI systems can now be designed with a stronger, theoretically grounded guarantee of consistent performance and fairness, even when deployed in environments different from their training data.

This enables more trustworthy and deployable AI systems across various 'edge' cases and disparate data environments.
It could accelerate AI adoption in regulated industries where consistent reliability and fairness are paramount.
Improved robustness might reduce the regulatory burden on AI systems, provided these guarantees are verifiable.
