Determine the transferability of FHA beyond the studied organisational contexts

Determine whether the recurring fairness-hazard and mitigation categories identified through Fairness Hazard Analysis transfer effectively to further organisations, domains, and regulatory contexts, particularly less formal or predominantly automated processes.

Background

The empirical study covered only two organisations and recruitment processes, so its findings were not statistically representative. The paper states that transferability to less formal processes, different legal or cultural environments, and settings in which decisions are predominantly automated remains unresolved. Further applications are needed to establish the scope of the preliminary hazard and mitigation categories.

References

Transferability to less formal processes, different legal or cultural environments, or settings in which decisions are predominantly automated remains uncertain.
