Chapter 04 Learning Objectives

  • Identify key legal and ethical failures in AI systems caused by unconsented, biased, or untraceable training data.
  • Explain how privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR, PIPA) and international standards (e.g., ISO/IEC 5259) shape requirements for dataset governance.
  • Distinguish between technical documentation and evaluative tools used to assess data integrity.
  • Apply fairness evaluation methods such as bias audits, intersectional representation scoring, and cause-effect test case generation.
  • Assess the audit readiness and risk profile of a real-world dataset using a structured governance framework.
  • Recognize early warning signs of dataset decay, including drift, annotation noise, and metadata erosion, and describe strategies for detection and mitigation.
  • Evaluate the performance, legal, and ethical consequences of deploying outdated or decaying datasets in high-stakes AI systems.
  • Propose curation and remediation strategies using technical methods such as synthetic data generation, differential privacy, and automated anomaly detection.
