New York, May 3 (Ians) Artificial intelligence (AI) technology in the medical field has the possibility to increase inequities, particularly among people with low-access to healthcare and those who are from the vulnerable communities, according to a study.
AI is known to automate diagnoses, decrease physician workload, and even to bring specialised healthcare to people in rural areas or developing countries.
However, analysing crowd-sourced sets of data used to create AI algorithms from medical images, University of Maryland researchers found that most did not include patient demographics.
In the study published in the journal Nature Medicine, the researchers found that the algorithms did not evaluate for inherent biases either. That means they have no way of knowing whether these images contain representative samples of the population such as Blacks, Asians, and Indigenous Americans.
According to the researchers, much of medicine is already fraught with partiality toward certain races, genders, ages, or sexual orientations.

New York, April 5 (Ians) OpenAI’s ChatGPT can be helpful for breast cancer screening advice, but consumers using the Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool for health information still need to confirm information with their doctors, suggests a study.
Researchers at the University of Maryland, in a study, found that the answers generated by Chat Gpt provide correct information the vast majority of the time; sometimes, though, the information is inaccurate or even fictitious.
In February 2023, researchers from the varsity’s School of Medicine created a set of 25 questions related to advice on getting screened for breast cancer. They submitted each question to ChatGPT three times to see what responses were generated – the chatbot is known for varying its response each time a question is posed.
Three radiologists fellowship-trained in mammography evaluated the responses; they found that the responses were appropriate for 22 out of the 25 questions.
The chatbot did, however, provide one answer based on outdated information.
