Deep learning models based on artificial intelligence can identify someone's race just from their X-rays, new research has revealed – something that would be impossible for a human doctor looking at the same images.
can identify someone's race just from their X-rays, new research has revealed – something that would be impossible for a human doctor looking at the same images.The findings raise some troubling questions about the role of AI in medical diagnosis, assessment, and treatment: could racial bias be unintentionally applied by computer software when studying images like these?
The AI could predict the reported racial identity of the patient on these images with surprising accuracy, even when the scans were taken from people of the same age and the same sex. The system hit levels of 90 percent with some groups of images. By its very nature, AI mimics human thinking to quickly spot patterns in data. Yet this also means it can unwittingly succumb to the same kinds of biases. Worse still, their complexity makes it hard to untangle the prejudices we've woven into them.
