"questions": [
{
"stage": "pre",
"question": "Which best matches the demographic-parity definition for groups A=a and A=a'?",
"options": [
"Equal true-positive and false-positive rates across groups",
"Equal predictive value across groups",
"Equal Lipschitz constant across groups",
"Equal acceptance rates: P(Y=1 | A=a) = P(Y=1 | A=a')"

"explanation": ""

{
"stage": "check",
"question": "What does the Chouldechova / Kleinberg-Mullainathan-Raghavan 2017 impossibility result say?",
"options": [
"Group fairness is always achievable by re-weighting",
"Under unequal base rates, demographic parity, equalized odds, and conditional use accuracy equality cannot all hold simultaneously",
"Counterfactual fairness implies demographic parity",
"Individual fairness implies counterfactual fairness for any DAG"
],
"correct": 1,
"explanation": ""
},
{
"stage": "check",
"question": "Dwork et al. 2012 define individual fairness via:",
"options": [
"Demographic parity at the individual level",
"Equal accuracy across protected groups",
"A Lipschitz condition on the decision map relative to a task-specific similarity metric, so similar individuals get similar decisions",
"A causal DAG with a sensitive-attribute intervention"
],
"correct": 2,
"explanation": ""
},
{
"stage": "check",
"question": "Counterfactual fairness (Kusner et al. 2017) requires:",
"options": [
"No causal assumptions",
"Equal Lipschitz constants for all groups",
"Only group-level statistics",
"A causal DAG; the decision is unchanged when the individual's sensitive attribute is counterfactually altered"
],
"correct": 3,
"explanation": ""
},
{
"stage": "post",
"question": "Why do backtracking counterfactuals (arXiv:2401.13935) matter for legal compliance?",
"options": [
"Instead of intervening on a protected attribute (which is legally problematic), they ask which combination of actual features would have produced the counterfactual outcome",
"They eliminate the need for any causal model",
"They replace embedding-based bias metrics",
"They prove the impossibility theorem is wrong"
],
"correct": 0,
"explanation": ""

{
"stage": "post",
"question": "What does the ICLR Blogposts 2024 philosophical reconciliation argue?",
"options": [
"The impossibility theorems are resolved by re-weighting",
"With an explicit causal graph, satisfying certain group-fairness measures entails counterfactual fairness, so the apparent opposition between families is partly an artifact of leaving the causal model implicit",
"Group and counterfactual fairness are unrelated",
"Only individual fairness is justifiable"
