arXiv:2606.27558v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Fairness measurements in the form of disaggregated evaluations often rely on demographic signals that are legally constrained or culturally sensitive. Race and ethnicity signals are among the more difficult signals to curate and use for this task. This paper presents Privacy-Preserving Probabilistic Race/Ethnicity Estimation (PPRE) as a method for enabling fairness measurements with respect to race/ethnicity for U.S.\ LinkedIn members in a privacy-preserving manner. PPRE applies privacy technologies (specifically: secure two-party computation, di
The increasing focus on AI ethics, coupled with stringent data privacy regulations, necessitates immediate solutions for fairness measurement without compromising individual privacy.
This development addresses a critical challenge in AI development, allowing for more compliant and equitable AI systems, particularly for large platforms handling sensitive demographic data.
Fairness measurements, especially those involving sensitive demographic signals like race and ethnicity, can now be conducted with greater privacy compliance and technical feasibility.
