We then saw some public embarrassments and troubles caused by biased code and other biased things. This chapter looked at detecting biases, measuring fairness, and preventing bad code generation in the first place. This involved getting balanced data, treating it fairly, checking comments, mentioning assumptions, documentation, widely used documentation, ethical coding standards, and code reviews done well.
