DESCRIPTION:Welfare-maximizing algorithms offer new insights in experimenta
 l economics. During an experiment\, they identify the most beneficial treat
 ment for the subjects and thus maximize the experiment's overall welfare im
 pact. However\, for experimentalists or policy implementers\, this implies 
 transferring decision-making power to an algorithm. Allocating individuals 
 to treatment arms using an algorithm exposes us to contemporary criticisms 
 of artificial intelligence\, such as discrimination or exacerbation of ineq
 ualities. Can we meet the requirements of fairness in these automated desig
 ns? Are adaptive experiments more fair by virtue of their objective? In thi
 s paper\, I propose a comprehensive examination of fairness by considering 
 multiple dimensions that can influence the researchers' preference for one 
 design over the other. By summarizing and analyzing these distinct dimensio
 ns through a utility model\, I aim to discuss the relative fairness of adap
 tive experiments and standard randomized controlled trials. Specifically\, 
 I show that these different designs align with extreme versions of the fair
 ness utility model\, reflecting the pursuit of distinct fairness objectives
  within experimental settings. My model highlights the presence of intermed
 iate solutions that can be pursued to reconcile and balance different fairn
 ess objectives in experimental designs.\\n\\nContact: Timothée Demont: tim
