What are Microsoft Azure's Responsible AI principles?

Five core ones: fairness (bias mitigation), inclusiveness (diverse access), transparency (explainability), privacy/security (data protection), accountability (ongoing oversight).

How does Fairlearn work in Azure ML?

It assesses models for bias metrics, suggests mitigations like data re-sampling; integrates directly into Azure workspaces for pre-deploy checks.

Is Azure Responsible AI mandatory?

No, opt-in — but smart teams make it pipeline default to dodge regs and backlash.
