The lack of bias management in Recommender Systems leads to minority groups receiving unfair recommendations. Moreover, the trade-off between equity and precision makes it difficult to obtain recommendations that meet both criteria.

Experimental results show that it is possible to make fair recommendations without losing a significant proportion of accuracy.
