After six months, the company's compliance team receives complaints that applicants from predominantly low-income neighborhoods are being rejected at a much higher rate than applicants from affluent areas, even when their financial profiles are similar. The model's overall accuracy remains high (95%), and the loan default rate has decreased by 15% since deployment. The company wants to address the ethical concerns without sacrificing performance. Which course of action should the company take?

After deployment, the tool consistently ranks female candidates lower, even when they have equivalent qualifications. The AI team reports that the overall model accuracy is 92%, and they argue that performance is strong. However, the diversity and inclusion team raises ethical concerns about gender bias. The Salesforce AI Associate is asked to evaluate the situation. What should the associate recommend?

Medium84A healthcare provider uses an AI system to predict patient readmission risk. The system was trained on historical data from the past five years, during which the hospital served a predominantly urban population. Recently, the hospital expanded to rural areas with different demographic and socioeconomic profiles. The AI predictions have been less accurate for rural patients, leading to misallocation of care resources. The AI Ethics committee is reviewing the system for potential bias. The model outputs a risk score from 0 to 100. The data science team has identified that the model uses features such as income, distance from hospital, and insurance type, which may correlate with race and socioeconomic status. The team wants to make the model fairer without retraining from scratch. Which approach best balances fairness and predictive accuracy?
Medium85Refer to the exhibit. An admin sees this error in the Einstein activity log. What is the most likely cause?
