Group Fairness

Group fairness is a concept in decision-making systems, like algorithms, that aims to treat different groups (such as based on race, gender, or age) equitably. It seeks to ensure that outcomes or opportunities are not unfairly biased against any particular group. For example, in a hiring algorithm, group fairness would mean that the system does not discriminate against specific demographic groups and that all groups have a fair chance of success. The goal is to promote justice and reduce bias across different segments of society within automated or decision-making processes.
