    Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with detecting unfairness in machine learning outcomes are described. In one embodiment, a method includes generating outcomes for transactions with a machine learning tool to be tested for bias. Then, actual values for a test subset of the outcomes that is associated with a test value for a demographic classification are compared with estimated values for the test subset of outcomes. The estimated values are generated by a machine learning model that is trained with a reference subset of the outcomes that are associated with a reference value for the demographic classification. The method then detects whether the machine learning tool is biased or unbiased based on dissimilarity between the actual values and the estimated values for the test subset of the outcomes. The method then generates an electronic alert that the ML tool is biased or unbiased.
