EMBED FAIRNESS INTO YOUR AI PROJECTS

The Fair AI Scrum handbook is a practical guide for AI teams who want to embed fairness into every stage of development. It approaches fairness through an intersectional lens, going beyond algorithms and evaluations to consider the real-world impact of AI systems.

FIVE PILLARS OF FAIR AI SCRUM

The handbook introduces five pillars of Fair AI Scrum, applied to the Roles, Events, and Artefacts of Scrum. These pillars come with actionable tools and prompts to support ongoing dialogue, collaboration, and reflection within your team.

WHO IS IT FOR?

This handbook is designed for Scrum teams developing AI systems—whether low-, medium-, or high-risk—who are committed to building fairer AI.

HOW IT WORKS

The handbook helps teams structurally integrate fairness into their Scrum practices. It translates the five pillars into practical prompts and tools that can be applied during Sprint Planning, Retrospectives, and across Scrum Roles, Events, and Artefacts. By using these prompts, teams can foster continuous reflection, inclusive decision-making, and improved fairness outcomes.

Teams can integrate fairness into their Scrum workflows with actionable prompts and tools applied to:

• Sprint Planning: Make fairness a deliberate part of your backlog and prioritisation.
• Retrospectives: Reflect on the fairness and impact of AI features in production.
• Roles, Events, and Artefacts: Embed ethical and inclusive decision-making into every part of your Scrum process.

By using the Fair AI Scrum handbook, teams can continuously improve fairness outcomes, promote inclusive decision-making, and align AI development with ethical and responsible AI practices.
