Abstract
FAIRLENS introduces a benchmark for evaluating fairness and validity in vision-language models used in high-stakes decision-making.
Reality Card
Core Claim
FAIRLENS demonstrates that the primary failure in VLMs is unwarranted inference from visual inputs rather than unequal treatment across demographic groups.
Method / Result
The weakest model inferred qualifications or roles from images on 99% of questions it could not answer.
Limitations
The study highlights that disparity metrics alone may not capture the severity of model failures in high-stakes contexts.
