This pipeline-centric view offers an operational, lifecycle-based perspective on where mitigation can be applied. In deployment settings, however, practitioners also face an additional question: whether a mitigation family is applicable given the resources and access rights available in a concrete system.\r\nIn this survey, we use resources broadly to denote data access/control, training capability, and deployment-time interface/decision control.\r\nAccordingly, we introduce a resource-aware taxonomy that complements existing taxonomies by classifying AI bias mitigation methods according to the conditions that make them practically implementable. We use this taxonomy to structure and reinterpret existing literature on the topic, highlighting which mitigation families remain feasible under resource constraints.","doi":"10.24963/ijcai.2026/882","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2026/882","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2026/0882.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2026/882.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2026/bibtex/882","volume":{"slug":"2026","title":"Proceedings of the Thirty-Fifth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 2026","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2026/","year":2026,"location":"Bremen, Germany","dates":"15-21 August 2026","editors":"Diego Calvanese","isbn":"978-1-956792-09-6","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence Organization","doi_prefix":"10.24963/ijcai.2026"},"section":"Survey Track","track":"Survey Track","number":882,"pages":{"first":7949,"last":7957},"keywords":["AI Ethics, Trust, Fairnes: Ethical, legal and societal issues","AI Ethics, Trust, Fairnes: Trustworthy AI","AI Ethics, Trust, Fairnes: Fairness and diversity","AI Ethics, Trust, Fairnes: Bias"],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
