Study reveals why AI models that analyze medical images can be biased

Artificial intelligence models often play a role in medical diagnoses, especially when it comes to analyzing images such as X-rays. However, studies have found that these models don’t always perform well across all demographic groups, usually faring worse in women and people of color. These models have also been shown to develop some surprising abilities.

That research team has now found that the Read More
