D.5:3.3 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them

Anti-patternWhat goes wrongRepair
Ethics ghettoBias or fairness is left in a separate ethics note while the model, metric, release, publication, or work plan keeps operating unchanged.Put the concern on the audited EntityOfConcern and its intended use, then name the mitigation, constraint, or accepted residual.
Checklist charadeA checklist is completed without answering the concern about affected people, evidence, use, or residuals.Return the bounded finding or judgement; use a register or report when its content is needed for tracking or reliance.
Bias whack-a-moleOne disparity is patched while proxy, representation, metric, visibility, or language concerns move elsewhere.Keep REP, ALG, VIS, MET, and LNG concerns visible until the admissible use and accepted residual are explicit.
