A technique to mitigate bias and ensure fairness in AI applications is ongoing auditing and monitoring of the data used in AI applications. Regular audits help identify and address any biases that may exist in the data, ensuring that AI models function fairly and without prejudice. Monitoring involves continuously checking the performance of AI systems to safeguard against discriminatory outcomes. Salesforce emphasizes the importance of ethical AI practices, including transparency and fairness, which can be further explored through Salesforce's AI ethics guidelines at Salesforce AI Ethics.
