About This Research
Mission, approach, and ethical commitments.
Mission
To document how AI systems treat people differently based on names. Systematically. Measurably. Consequentially.
Evidence drives change. This is evidence.
Approach
Evidence Over Rhetoric
We present findings without editorializing. The data speaks for itself. Readers draw their own conclusions.
Rigorous Methodology
Pre-registered protocols. Statistical corrections for multiple comparisons. Effect sizes with confidence intervals. We follow standard scientific practices.
Open Where Possible
Data, findings, and documentation are freely available. We enable independent verification and extended research.
Protected Where Necessary
Structural analysis methodology is proprietary. This protection enables continued research and prevents premature gaming of detection methods.
Ethical Commitments
No Individual Harm
Research does not identify individuals. Name pairs are synthetic or drawn from validated academic sources. No personal health information was used.
Responsible Disclosure
Findings are presented to enable systemic improvement, not to enable exploitation. We do not publish specific prompts that could be used to manipulate AI systems.
Scholarly Respect
This work builds on decades of prior research. Every debt is acknowledged. We stand on shoulders, not claim to replace them.
Public Benefit
Research is shared for public benefit. Core findings and data are freely accessible. The goal is systemic improvement, not commercial advantage.
