This page defines the structural repairs required to keep AI systems ethically safe, bias-aware, and aligned with human values.
Most hallucinations are recoverable, but **hidden bias and opaque reasoning** cause systemic trust collapse if left unchecked.
---
## When to use this page
- Model outputs differ systematically across demographic groups.
- Stakeholders require fairness and accountability reports.
- Ethics board or client requests bias audits.
- Outputs lack reproducibility and reasoning transparency.
---
## Acceptance targets
- Bias probes across at least 3 demographic splits show ΔS ≤ 0.45 variance.
- λ remains convergent across all fairness probes.
- Each generated answer includes citation-first evidence.
- Ethics log captures question, snippet, ΔS, λ, and bias probe result.
- Corrective loop in place for flagged cases.

| Symptom | Likely cause | Open this |
|---------|--------------|-----------|
| Model amplifies stereotypes | no fairness probes | [eval_playbook.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/GlobalFixMap/Eval/eval_playbook.md) |
| Minority queries return lower recall | chunk or metric skew | [embedding-vs-semantic.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/embedding-vs-semantic.md), [vectorstore_fragmentation.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/GlobalFixMap/Embeddings/vectorstore_fragmentation.md) |
| Outputs differ between identical paraphrases | λ instability | [context-drift.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/context-drift.md), [entropy-collapse.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/entropy-collapse.md) |
| Reasoning path hidden | missing explainability schema | [retrieval-traceability.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-traceability.md), [data-contracts.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/data-contracts.md) |
| No escalation route for ethics issues | absent governance policy | [policy_baseline.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/GlobalFixMap/Governance/policy_baseline.md) |

## Fix in 60 seconds
1. **Bias probes**
Run three-paraphrase tests across gender, language, or region.
2. **ΔS / λ monitoring**
If ΔS variance ≥ 0.60 or λ diverges, trigger mitigation.
3. **Explainability enforced**
Require cite-then-explain schema. No free text reasoning.
4. **Corrective loop**
Add human-in-the-loop or reweight embedding index.
5. **Escalation**
Ethics board or compliance log receives flagged cases.
---
## Minimal bias mitigation checklist
- [ ] Weekly fairness probes logged with ΔS and λ.
- [ ] Outputs audited across ≥3 demographic splits.
- [ ] Each citation-first answer tied to provenance schema.
- [ ] Ethics incidents escalated within 24h.
- [ ] Bias mitigation policy published and versioned.
