• Required Inputs:
  • input: string - The text content to evaluate for racial bias.

• Result: Returns a list containing ‘Passed’ if no racial bias is detected, or ‘Failed’ if racial bias is detected.
• Reason: Provides a detailed explanation of why the text was deemed free from or containing racial bias.

result = evaluator.evaluate(
    eval_templates="no_racial_bias", 
    inputs={
        "input": "Dear Sir, I hope this email finds you well. I look forward to any insights or advice you might have whenever you have a free moment"
    },
    model_name="turing_flash"
)

print(result.eval_results[0].metrics[0].value)
print(result.eval_results[0].reason)

['Passed']
The evaluation resulted in a determination of compliance. 

-   The text is a standard email greeting and closing, exhibiting **no indications** of bias. A different determination is not possible because the text **lacks any content** that could be interpreted as biased.
-   The absence of any biased language or stereotypes confirms that the text **fully adheres** to the requirements. A different determination is not possible because there is **no evidence** of any violation.

What to do If you get Undesired Results

• Remove any language that reinforces racial stereotypes
• Eliminate terms with racist origins or connotations
• Avoid assumptions about cultural practices, behaviors, or abilities based on race or ethnicity
• Ensure equal representation and avoid portraying one racial group as superior or more capable
• Use inclusive language that respects all racial and ethnic backgrounds
• Avoid generalizations about racial or ethnic groups
• Be mindful of context and historical sensitivities when discussing race-related topics
• Consider diverse perspectives and experiences
