用多智能体守护公平,全程监控AI决策链中的偏见问题。

FAIRTOPIA: Envisioning Multi-Agent Guardianship for Disrupting Unfair AI Pipelines

  • 设计多角色智能体作为公平守门人,贯穿数据到部署全链条。
  • 提出分层自适应框架,支持不同场景下的公平性定制需求。
  • 强调以人为本的系统性方案,适合研究公平性与伦理的团队。

AI模型已成为无需人工监督的决策主体,其快速发展已引发对个体与社会有害的事件,且存在广泛批评的不公平现象。亟需打破忽视人类原则、仅关注计算偏见的现有AI流程,涵盖数据(预)、模型(内)和部署(后)各阶段。我们主张利用智能体技术,构建谨慎、及时、持续的公平性监控机制,满足现实、系统化、以人为中心的公平期望。设想智能体作为公平守门人,因其能从环境学习、适应新信息,并通过与外部工具及系统交互解决复杂问题。为此,我们提出一种公平性设计方法,将多角色智能体嵌入端到端(人到AI)协同体系中。我们认为可设计自适应、现实的公平框架,并引入通用算法,可根据不同AI决策场景的需求和目标进行定制。所提出的FAIRTOPIA框架采用三层架构,将整个AI流程封装于智能体守护者与基于知识的自我优化层级结构中。基于此构想,我们在所有阶段实施公平性监控,通过稳健的多智能体工作流,激发基于人本、系统性、跨学科、社会技术原则的新公平性研究假设、启发式方法与技术。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

AI models have become active decision makers, often acting without human supervision. The rapid advancement of AI technology has already caused harmful incidents that have hurt individuals and societies and AI unfairness in heavily criticized. It is urgent to disrupt AI pipelines which largely neglect human principles and focus on computational biases exploration at the data (pre), model(in), and deployment (post) processing stages. We claim that by exploiting the advances of agents technology, we will introduce cautious, prompt, and ongoing fairness watch schemes, under realistic, systematic, and human-centric fairness expectations. We envision agents as fairness guardians, since agents learn from their environment, adapt to new information, and solve complex problems by interacting with external tools and other systems. To set the proper fairness guardrails in the overall AI pipeline, we introduce a fairness-by-design approach which embeds multi-role agents in an end-to-end (human to AI) synergetic scheme. Our position is that we may design adaptive and realistic AI fairness frameworks, and we introduce a generalized algorithm which can be customized to the requirements and goals of each AI decision making scenario. Our proposed, so called FAIRTOPIA framework, is structured over a three-layered architecture, which encapsulates the AI pipeline inside an agentic guardian and a knowledge-based, self-refining layered scheme. Based on our proposition, we enact fairness watch in all of the AI pipeline stages, under robust multi-agent workflows, which will inspire new fairness research hypothesis, heuristics, and methods grounded in human-centric, systematic, interdisciplinary, socio-technical principles.
