Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sarah's loan got denied while John sailed through
Same credit scores, different outcomes grew
The algorithm learned from history's stain
Perpetuating patterns of systemic pain
Hidden bias lurks in training sets
Where past discrimination secretly begets

[Chorus]
Test your models, check the math
Statistical parity on every path
Disparate impact hiding deep
Equal opportunity we must keep
Fairness metrics, measure twice
Algorithmic justice worth the price

[Verse 2]
Facial recognition fails on darker skin
Voice assistants can't hear accents within
Hiring bots prefer names that sound "right"
While qualified candidates slip from sight
Protected classes need protection true
Age and gender, race and religion too

[Chorus]
Test your models, check the math
Statistical parity on every path
Disparate impact hiding deep
Equal opportunity we must keep
Fairness metrics, measure twice
Algorithmic justice worth the price

[Bridge]
A-B testing splits the crowd
Confusion matrices speak out loud
Precision, recall for every group
Monitor production in feedback loops
Demographic parity checks the score
Equalized odds level the floor

[Verse 3]
Pre-processing cleans the biased data
Post-processing adjusts the errata
In-processing builds fairness constraints
While adversarial training restraints
Continuous monitoring never sleeps
Watching for bias that slowly creeps

[Chorus]
Test your models, check the math
Statistical parity on every path
Disparate impact hiding deep
Equal opportunity we must keep
Fairness metrics, measure twice
Algorithmic justice worth the price

[Outro]
Code the future, code it fair
Every human deserves equal care
Bias detection, prevention too
Ethical AI starts with you
