# Ethical AI (eai)

A comprehensive Python package for ethical AI validation and auditing, designed with a modular structure similar to scikit-learn.

## Features

- **Bias Detection**: Identify and measure bias in AI models across different demographic groups
- **Fairness Assessment**: Evaluate model fairness using various metrics and statistical tests
- **GDPR Compliance**: Check for data privacy and consent requirements
- **AI Act Compliance**: Validate compliance with EU AI Act regulations
- **Comprehensive Reporting**: Generate detailed audit reports with visualizations
- **Multiple Model Support**: Works with scikit-learn, TensorFlow, and PyTorch models

## Installation

### From PyPI (Recommended)

```bash
pip install whis-ethical-ai
```

### From Source

```bash
git clone https://github.com/whis-19/ethical-ai.git
cd ethical-ai
pip install -e .
```

## Quick Start

### Basic Usage

```python
from ethical_ai_validator import EthicalAIValidator
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

# Create sample data
predictions = np.array([1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1])
true_labels = np.array([1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1])
protected_attributes = {
    'gender': ['male', 'female', 'male', 'female', 'male', 'female', 'male', 'female', 'male', 'female'],
    'race': ['white', 'black', 'white', 'black', 'white', 'black', 'white', 'black', 'white', 'black']
}

# Initialize validator
validator = EthicalAIValidator()

# Detect bias
bias_report = validator.audit_bias(predictions, true_labels, protected_attributes)
print("Bias Report:")
print(bias_report)

# Calculate fairness metrics
fairness_metrics = validator.calculate_fairness_metrics(predictions, protected_attributes)
print("Fairness Metrics:")
print(fairness_metrics)
```

### Advanced Usage

```python
# Generate compliance report
metadata = {'model_name': 'RandomForest', 'version': '1.0'}
audit_criteria = {'bias_threshold': 0.1, 'fairness_threshold': 0.8}
report_path = validator.generate_compliance_report(metadata, audit_criteria)

# Real-time monitoring
predictions_stream = [
    np.random.choice([0, 1], size=1000),
    np.random.choice([0, 1], size=1000)
]
alerts = validator.monitor_realtime(predictions_stream)

# Suggest mitigations
mitigations = validator.suggest_mitigations(bias_report)
print("Mitigation Suggestions:")
print(mitigations)
```

### Using Convenience Functions

```python
from ethical_ai_validator import (
    audit_bias, calculate_fairness_metrics, generate_compliance_report,
    monitor_realtime, suggest_mitigations
)

# Direct function calls
bias_report = audit_bias(predictions, true_labels, protected_attributes)
fairness_metrics = calculate_fairness_metrics(predictions, protected_attributes)
report_path = generate_compliance_report(metadata, audit_criteria)
alerts = monitor_realtime(predictions_stream)
mitigations = suggest_mitigations(bias_report)
```

## Development Setup

### Prerequisites

- Python 2.7 or higher
- Git
- pip

### Step-by-Step Setup

1. **Clone the repository**
   ```bash
   git clone https://github.com/whis-19/ethical-ai.git
cd ethical-ai
   ```

2. **Create a virtual environment**
   ```bash
   python -m venv .venv
   source .venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
   ```

3. **Install dependencies**
   ```bash
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   pip install -e .[dev]
   ```

4. **Run tests**
   ```bash
   pytest
   ```

5. **Check code coverage**
   ```bash
   pytest --cov=ethical_ai_validator --cov-report=html
   ```

### VS Code Setup

1. Install recommended extensions:
   - Python (ms-python.python)
   - Pylance (ms-python.vscode-pylance)
   - Python Test Explorer (littlefoxteam.vscode-python-test-adapter)

2. Configure settings in `.vscode/settings.json` (already included)
