Fingerprinting the Future: Did the EU AI Act Get It Right?
The Rojas case is invoked here not for its emotional weight but as a single, verifiable event that transformed a contested methodology into an authoritative institutional standard. On 29 June 1892, the people of Necochea, a small town in Buenos Aires, woke to horror. Two murdered children, but their mother, Francisca Rojas, was found injured and alive. Police rushed to the scene and arrested a neighbor based on Rojas’s accusations. At first, the case seemed straightforward, with a suspect and a witness.
The Bias Spillover Effect in LLMs: When Fixing One Bias Breaks Another
Imagine a mental health support app powered by artificial intelligence (AI). Its developers notice the app recommends professional help more aggressively to women than to men, a clear gender bias. They fix it, and they succeed. But a few months later, something else surfaces: older users are now receiving shorter, more dismissive responses than younger users for the exact same struggles. Nobody changed anything related to age. So what happened? What happened is the bias spillover effect, scientifically defined as “the unintended alteration of behavior on one social axis when mitigating another” (Mijalli et al., 2023).
