Abstract

As artificial intelligence (AI) systems increasingly shape decision-making in finance, healthcare, and policing, concerns about algorithmic bias have grown. This paper critically reviews existing bias mitigation frameworks, analyzing their ethical underpinnings, technical methods, and practical applications. Findings highlight the need for interdisciplinary approaches combining transparency, accountability, and inclusive datasets.
