You have an AI-based loan approval system. During testing, you discover that the system has a gender bias. Which responsible Al principle does this violate?

Accountability refers to ensuring that humans are responsible for the AI system's actions and impact, which is a broader principle than just bias.

Reliability and safety ensure that AI systems perform as intended, are available, and do not cause harm, but it doesn't specifically address discriminatory outcomes.

Transparency involves understanding how an AI system makes decisions, which is related to explainability, but gender bias is a specific outcome issue, not just a lack of understanding.

Fairness in responsible AI means that AI systems should treat all people equitably and not discriminate against groups or individuals based on sensitive attributes like gender, race, or ethnicity. A gender bias in a loan approval system is a direct violation of this principle.
