Withdraw the unsupported phrase: What action best fits consumer-protection principles?
The unsupported bias-free statement should be withdrawn; disclaimers or relabeling do not substitute for substantiated marketing claims.
The question
A public-benefit administrator in the United States markets an AI intake tool as “bias-free.” Internal testing identifies unequal error rates across applicant groups, and no evidence supports the absolute marketing statement. What action best fits consumer-protection principles?

- Replace “bias-free” with “AI-powered.”Renaming the tool does not address whether remaining capability or fairness claims are supported by evidence.
- Withdraw the unsupported phrase. ✓Removing an unsupported bias-free claim avoids implying a capability or outcome that internal evidence does not substantiate.
- Keep the phrase and add a general disclaimer.A general disclaimer may not cure a prominent unsupported claim about bias performance, especially when testing shows unequal error rates.
- Advertise the phrase only for groups with equal error rates.Narrowing the audience without substantiating the revised claim may still mislead if the product’s broader context remains undisclosed.
The trap
A fairness claim needs supporting evidence; changing the product label or adding a disclaimer does not create that evidence. How to remember it
The unsupported bias-free statement should be withdrawn; disclaimers or relabeling do not substitute for substantiated marketing claims.
