### 🔥 Conformal Prediction: A Game-Changer for Fair AI Recommendations

Recommender systems shape what we watch, read, and even who gets hired. But **bias in LLMs** can lead to unfair recommendations. How do we fix this?

A new paper, **[FACTER: Fairness-Aware Conformal Thresholding and Prompt Engineering](arxiv.org/pdf/2502.02966)**, shows how **Conformal Prediction** can make AI-driven recommendations **fairer and more reliable.**

### 🔍 **How It Works:**

✅ **Conformal Prediction** quantifies uncertainty, ensuring fair recommendations.
✅ **Thresholding Mechanisms** adjust confidence levels to **minimize bias** while maintaining accuracy.
✅ **Prompt Engineering** enhances response diversity, **reducing systemic bias** in outputs.

### 🚀 **Why This Matters:**
🔹 **Fairer AI decisions** across different user groups.
🔹 **Regulatory compliance** with fairness guidelines.
🔹 **Scalable solutions** for real-world recommender systems.
