Algorithmic fairness

bias that arises when an algorithm predicts a convenient proxy, like health costs, instead of the true target, like health need, disadvantaging groups with lower proxy values.

In algorithmic fairness, label choice bias refers to bias that arises when an algorithm predicts a convenient proxy, like health costs, instead of the true target, like health need, disadvantaging groups with lower proxy values. This meaning comes from Obermeyer (2019) in Science.[1]
