LLM tools used in medicine found to be loaded with white male bias.

"The findings by researchers at leading US and UK universities suggest that medical AI tools powered by LLMs have a tendency to not reflect the severity of symptoms among female patients, while also displaying less “empathy” toward Black and Asian ones."

Every time someone says 'AI', ask 'whose AI?'

Well, that specific bias is far more than an AI problem: it's a general problem of 'western' medicine. Those system reproduce the bias of medical research and medical practice. It will persist unless the US research is regarded as the 'leading'...
