A team is testing an AI system that predicts credit card fraud. During testing, they find that the system has a higher false positive rate for transactions made by elderly customers. What is the most ethical action for the test team to take?

Report the bias and work with the development team to investigate and mitigate it before release.

Adjust the test data to reduce the number of elderly customers in the dataset.

Release the system and document the bias as a known limitation.

Ignore the finding because the system is generally accurate.
