Fairness and Accountability

Fairness and accountability are principles ensuring that decisions made by systems or organizations are just and responsible. Fairness involves treating everyone equally and avoiding biases, ensuring that outcomes don’t unfairly advantage or disadvantage certain groups. Accountability means that those responsible for these decisions are answerable, transparent about their actions, and willing to correct mistakes. Together, they promote trust, ethical standards, and equitable treatment, especially in areas like technology, justice, and workplace practices. Prioritizing fairness and accountability helps prevent harm and builds confidence that systems serve all individuals fairly and responsibly.
