Data audit of Nigeria DHS dataset to identify bias and AI system risk
# When Data Fails: Auditing Nigerian Health Survey Data for AI Risk
## Overview
This project examines how structural imbalances in real-world healthcare data can influence the behavior of AI systems. Using the Nigeria DHS 2018 dataset, the analysis focuses on how differences in region, living context, and education shape what models learn and where they may struggle.
## Key Insights
Uneven regional distribution influences learned patterns
Rural-heavy data introduces context sensitivity
Education distribution limits behavioral diversity
## Why This Matters
AI systems learn from data as it is. When that data is uneven, system performance may vary across populations, even if overall metrics appear strong.
