Implementing constraints in the algorithm itself, ensuring we don't sacrifice the equity for a better performance.
For eg. In an loan approval algorithm, we can make sure that 2 demographic groups should not have difference more than 5%. With the objective of maximizing the prediction accuracy and the constraint of being fair.
ApprovalRate(Group A) - ApprovalRate(Group B)| ≤ 0.05 for all group pairs
In practice, implementing this might involve techniques like constrained gradient descent or other optimization methods. Just need to find the trade off!

Designing Transparent Models: Ensure the algorithms are interpretable, allowing stakeholders to understand decision-making processes, which fosters trust and accountability.
Bias Mitigation Techniques: Implement techniques like re-weighting, fairness constraints, or adversarial debiasing to minimize unintended bias without significantly compromising efficiency.
Prioritizing Ethical Data Collection: Fairness starts with unbiased and representative data. Investing in diverse datasets ensures that efficiency gains don't come at the expense of marginalizing groups.
Monitoring and Iteration: Constantly evaluate both fairness and efficiency metrics throughout the algorithm's lifecycle, making iterative improvements where necessary.

Prioritize Fairness: Ensure that the algorithm doesn’t disproportionately impact any group, even if it means slightly reduced efficiency.
Set Clear Metrics: Define fairness and efficiency metrics to measure the performance of the algorithm on both fronts.
Iterative Testing: Regularly test the algorithm against diverse data sets to identify biases while maintaining performance.
Adjust for Trade-offs: Accept that some trade-offs are necessary; tweak the algorithm iteratively to optimize both aspects.
Incorporate Feedback: Continuously gather feedback from stakeholders to refine the balance between fairness and efficiency.

... ; Focus on efficiency by ignoring biased privileges & then double check not to be biased unintentionally. It is similar to the real word of humans. We have 2 natural main groups and the weaker group is abusing the strongest of the 2 group through lying all the time about fairness in order to allocate half of the resources and positions to the weak group while in reality it is both efficient and fair to ignore the fact that there are 2 groups and always choose the most capable person independent of the group, this result in both efficiency and fairness.
