# Disparate Impact Alert

Indicates that there is a significant discrepancy in the way different classes are being treated, which can signal bias.

![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-bi-264-0-0-production-enus/ec791473-f5b4-4f64-a656-9104f455d966/images/icon_note.png)

Note Einstein Discovery stories are now models. We wish we could snap our fingers to update the name everywhere, but you can expect to see the previous name in a few places until we replace it.

Note Disparate impact is detected only for variables marked as sensitive. The alert appears as a subtab on an insight card associated with the sensitive variable.

## Actions to Consider

Investigate the variable further to determine whether it's reflecting discriminatory practices. Consider removing any biased variables from your story to remove their influence and to produce more ethical and accountable insights and models. To learn more, see [Detect and Remove Bias from a Model](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.bi_edd_story_bias.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Einstein Discovery helps you practice ethical use of AI by detecting bias in your data so that you can remove its distorting effects on your analysis and predictions. Bias indicates that variables are being treated unequally in your model.").

## Detection Methodology

Einstein Discovery raises this data alert when, for a sensitive variable, the selection data for one group is less than 80% of the group with the highest selection rate. The 80% threshold is the widely used standard for detecting disparate impact.
