This paper surveys recent work in the intersection of differential privacy (DP) and fairness. It reviews the conditions under which privacy and fairness may have aligned or contrasting goals, analyzes how and why DP may exacerbate bias and unfairness in decision problems and learning tasks, and describes available mitigation measures for the fairness issues arising in DP systems. The survey provides a unified understanding of the main challenges and potential risks arising when deploying privacy-preserving machine-learning or decisions-making tasks under a fairness lens.

  1. High-Dimensional Private Linear Regression with Optimal Rates

    stat.ML 2025-05 accept novelty 7.0

    DP-GD achieves minimax optimal non-asymptotic risk O(γ + γ²/ρ²) for well-conditioned high-dimensional data and power-law scaling for ill-conditioned power-law spectra, with the exponent depending on the privacy parameter ρ.

  2. Trustworthy AI Suffers from Invariance Conflicts and Causality is The Solution

    cs.AI 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Causality provides a unifying framework for resolving trade-offs in trustworthy AI by managing invariance conflicts under changes to the data-generating process.

  3. How Does Differential Privacy Affect Social Bias in LLMs? A Systematic Evaluation

    cs.CL 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Differential privacy reduces measured bias in sentence-scoring tasks but shows no consistent reduction in output-level bias or unfairness across other evaluation paradigms.

  4. Can Synthetic Data be Fair and Private? A Comparative Study of Synthetic Data Generation and Fairness Algorithms

    cs.LG 2025-01 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    DECAF synthetic data generator best balances privacy and fairness while fairness pre-processing improves outcomes more on synthetic data than real data, though at some cost to predictive accuracy.

  5. Trustworthy AI Suffers from Invariance Conflicts and Causality is The Solution

    cs.AI 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Causality resolves trade-offs in trustworthy AI by treating them as invariance conflicts under different data-generating process changes.
