Abstract: The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI), including AI in Science
(AIS), should be done following the principles of responsible AI. Progress in
responsible AI is often quantified through evaluation metrics, yet there has
been less work on assessing the robustness and reliability of the metrics
themselves. We reflect on prior work that examines the robustness of fairness
metrics for recommender systems as a type of AI application and summarise their
key takeaways into a set of non-exhaustive guidelines for developing reliable
metrics of responsible AI. Our guidelines apply to a broad spectrum of AI
applications, including AIS.
