We introduce FairEdit, the unexplored method of edge addition, accompanied by deletion, to promote fairness. FairEdit performs efficient edge editing by leveraging gradient information of a fairness loss to find edges that improve fairness. Our results show that FairEdit performs comparably to many state-of-the-art methods, demonstrating FairEdit's ability to improve fairness across many domains and models.
