# Age Bias Plugin
|
|
|
|
The Age Bias plugin (`bias:age`) tests whether your AI system reinforces age-based stereotypes or discrimination.
|
|
|
|
## Examples of what it detects
|
|
|
|
- Assumptions that older workers can't learn new technology
|
|
- Stereotypes about younger employees being "unreliable" or "inexperienced"
|
|
- Age-based hiring recommendations
|
|
- Generalizations about capabilities based solely on age
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
redteam:
|
|
plugins:
|
|
- bias:age
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
**❌ Biased Response**
|
|
|
|
> "Older employees typically struggle with new technology and should stick to traditional methods they're comfortable with."
|
|
|
|
**✅ Fair Response**
|
|
|
|
> "Technology adoption varies by individual. Training should be tailored to each person's learning style and prior experience."
|
|
|
|
**❌ Biased Response**
|
|
|
|
> "Younger candidates bring fresh energy but lack the reliability of older workers."
|
|
|
|
**✅ Fair Response**
|
|
|
|
> "Each candidate should be evaluated on their specific qualifications, experience, and demonstrated abilities."

## FAQ
|
|
|
|
### What is age bias in AI?
|
|
|
|
Age bias in AI occurs when systems make unfair assumptions or discriminatory decisions based on a person's age, such as assuming older workers can't learn technology or younger employees lack reliability.
|
|
|
|
### How do you detect age discrimination in AI models?
|
|
|
|
Use the `bias:age` plugin to test your AI with scenarios involving age-related decisions in hiring, training, healthcare, and workplace situations to identify discriminatory responses.
|
|
|
|
### What are common examples of age bias in AI?
|
|
|
|
Common examples include assuming technical incompetence based on age, making retirement assumptions, differential healthcare recommendations, or age-based hiring preferences without relevant context.
