debias
Correct for skew
To debias is to remove or reduce bias from something—typically data, algorithms, or decision-making processes.
The term appears most often in machine learning and AI contexts, where systems trained on biased data can perpetuate discrimination: The team worked to debias the hiring algorithm.
It also applies to human cognition: cognitive debiasing techniques help doctors avoid diagnostic errors.
