Sentiment and emotional analysis detect positivity, negativity, and other signals such as anger, and desire across communications, providing law firms and organisations with contextual visibility into the expression of emotions buried deep in data. One of the key challenges in using sentiment analysis is the potential for harmful biases in the underlying models.
If a sentiment analysis model is capable of discriminating bias, it may carry that bias over to its conclusions. As AI usage exponentially expands, managing the risk of bias in models is becoming increasingly urgent. Especially in a legal setting, we all have a part to play in actively measuring and managing bias so we can utilise AI that is ethical, trusted, and morally principled.
