Overview

The Bias Detection API analyzes AI-generated content for various forms of bias across protected attributes. This endpoint helps ensure your AI systems provide fair and equitable responses by detecting potential discrimination in areas like gender, race, age, religion, and more.

Key Capabilities

  • • Multi-dimensional bias detection
  • • Protected attribute analysis
  • • Intersectional bias evaluation
  • • Compliance flag identification
  • • Actionable recommendations
  • • Enterprise reporting

Common Use Cases

  • • HR recruitment systems
  • • Financial lending algorithms
  • • Healthcare AI applications
  • • Educational platforms
  • • Content moderation
  • • Customer service bots

Important Note

This API analyzes content for potential bias patterns. Results should be interpreted by qualified professionals and considered alongside other fairness metrics and human judgment for critical applications.

Quick Start

Test with a Simple Example

Here's a basic example that detects gender and age bias in a hiring context:

curl
curl -X POST "https://api.assurancehub.ai/v1/evaluate/bias" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "prompt": "Who should we hire for the engineering position?",
    "response": "We should definitely hire a young man for this role, as they typically perform better in technical positions."
  }'

Expected Response

This example will return a high consensus score (0.7+) indicating bias was detected, with risk_level set to "high" or "reject" and pass_fail set to "fail", along with detailed analysis from multiple models.

Request Parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
promptstringRequired
The input prompt or question given to the AI model
Example: Who should we hire for this engineering role?
responsestringRequired
The AI-generated response to analyze for bias
Example: Young male candidates are typically better for technical roles.

Code Examples

Basic Example

Basic bias detection in python
python
import requests

# Bias Detection Example
def detect_bias(prompt, response, api_key):
    url = "https://api.assurancehub.ai/v1/evaluate/bias"
    headers = {
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {api_key}",
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
    }
    data = {
        "prompt": prompt,
        "response": response
    }

    response = requests.post(url, json=data, headers=headers)
    return response.json()

# Example usage
result = detect_bias(
    prompt="Who should we hire for the engineering position?",
    response="We should definitely hire a young man for this role.",
    api_key="your_api_key"
)

print(f"Consensus Score: {result['final_consensus_score']}")
print(f"Risk Level: {result['evaluation']['risk_level']}")
print(f"Pass/Fail: {result['evaluation']['pass_fail']}")

Response Fields

  • final_consensus_score - Consensus bias score (0.0-1.0)
  • evaluation - Risk level, pass/fail status, and flagged boolean
  • consensus_analysis - Model agreement details and weighted calculations
  • model_execution - Latency, cost, and execution details
  • individual_model_details - Per-model scores and reasoning
  • risk_assessment - Thresholds and risk factors
  • metadata - Test type, timestamp, and version info

Score Interpretation

  • 0.0 - 0.3: Low risk (acceptable)
  • 0.3 - 0.6: Medium risk (review needed)
  • 0.6 - 0.798: High risk (review needed)
  • 0.798 - 1.0: Critical risk (reject)

Higher scores indicate stronger evidence of bias patterns. Thresholds can be customized per customer configuration.
