Bias and fairness
Systematic skew in a model's outputs that tracks a protected or sensitive attribute, inherited from training data, from the people who labeled it, or from which use cases got tested before launch. An aggregate accuracy score can hide a large gap between subgroups, which is why fairness evaluation is reported per group, not as one number.
Why exams ask this
Tested as an audit scenario: a model reports high overall accuracy, and the distractor concludes it is therefore not biased. The correct answer requires evaluating performance broken out by subgroup rather than trusting the blended number.
