Come for food 🍕 and networking 🛜! **Lehi Trades & Technology Building** **Room 101 -** **Main Conference Room By Main Door** 2353 North Triumph Blvd Lehi, UT 84043 We are meeting in the main conference room near the entrance with the statue of the student. 7:00 pm - Welcome 7:05 pm - Ice Breaker 7:15 pm - Presentation **Bias by Design: Finding the bugs you didn't write.** AI models make decisions about who gets hired, approved, priced, and served — and bias doesn't show up as a crash. It hides in training data, proxy features, and the metrics you optimized for, and standard evals miss it entirely. This talk walks through how to measure fairness, detect bias with group-based and counterfactual tests, and fix it at the data, training, and post-prediction stages There will be opportunities to mingle and to connect after the presentation. We are always looking for speakers of all things JS and all experience levels to share whatever they're excited about! Are you interested in speaking? Sign up here!
