Derek Leben, in his new book AI Fairness: Designing Equal Opportunity Algorithms (MIT Press, 2025), tackles this pressing issue, offering a philosophical framework to evaluate and mitigate the inherent biases of AI. Leben draws inspiration from the work of the philosopher John Rawls, proposing a theory of algorithmic justice built upon core principles including autonomy, equal treatment, and equal impact. These principles, he argues, should guide the design and deployment of AI systems, ensuring they meet a "minimally acceptable level of accuracy," avoid irrelevant attributes, and provide equal opportunity.
