and even applies to AI algorithms trained to diagnose chest xrays:

tldr: the AI has a higher rate of underdiagnoses/missed diagnoses in POC/marginalised populations

Underdiagnosis bias of artificial intelligence algorithms applied to chest radiographs in under-served patient populations - Nature Medicine

Artificial intelligence algorithms trained using chest X-rays consistently underdiagnose pulmonary abnormalities or diseases in historically under-served patient populations, raising ethical concerns about the clinical use of such algorithms.
