Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency

Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency (FAT) are key principles guiding ethical use of technology. Fairness ensures systems do not discriminate against any group or individual, promoting equal treatment. Accountability means creators and operators are responsible for the system’s actions and decisions, allowing for oversight and correction. Transparency involves openly sharing how systems work and make decisions, so users understand the process and can trust the technology. Together, these principles aim to build trustworthy, ethical systems that respect people's rights and maintain public confidence.
