Bias Evaluation — Article 10(2)(f) & Annex VI
The EU AI Act requires bias examination across all applicable protected characteristics under EU anti-discrimination law, including sex, racial or ethnic origin, religion, disability, age, and sexual orientation (EU Charter Art. 21). Results are presented using the EEOC 4/5ths rule as the quantitative standard, consistent with established employment testing practice.
Largely conformant — Sex, Race, and Intersectional pass all thresholds
Age dimension (40+) passes conformity threshold at 0.99. No prohibited practices detected. Human oversight mechanism active.
