Bias in algorithmic systems is a major cause of unfair and discriminatory decisions in the use of such systems. Cognitive bias is very likely to be reflected in algorithmic systems as humankind aims to map Human Intelligence (HI) to Artificial Intelligence (AI). We conducted an extensive literature review on the identification and mitigation of bias, leading to precise measures for project teams building AI systems. Moreover, we developed an awareness-raising framework for use as a guideline for project teams, addressing AI responsibility, AI fairness, and AI safety. The framework proposes measures in the form of checklists to identify and mitigate bias in algorithmic systems considering all steps during system design, implementation, and application. We validated the framework successfully in the context of industrial AI projects.
