AI Is About to Revolutionize the Medical Field — Here’s the Good and the Bad

While Stu Burguiere and Glenn Beck trust that President Trump is in it for the right reasons and always has sound method to what the left deems madness, they’re both a little leery about his position on one thing: artificial intelligence. President Trump has made it clear that the United States must be a frontrunner in the race to develop AI, not only for economic competitiveness but also for national security, often citing China as an imminent …

Is AI in medicine playing fair?

As artificial intelligence (AI) rapidly integrates into health care, a new study reveals that all generative AI models may recommend different treatments for the same medical condition based solely on a patient's socioeconomic and demographic background.

Sociodemographic biases in medical decision making by large language models

Large language models (LLMs) show promise in healthcare, but concerns remain that they may produce medically unjustified clinical care recommendations reflecting the influence of patients’ sociodemographic characteristics. We evaluated nine LLMs, analyzing over 1.7 million model-generated outputs from 1,000 emergency department cases (500 real and 500 synthetic). Each case was presented in 32 variations (31 sociodemographic groups plus a control…

Is AI in medicine playing fair? Researchers stress-test generative models, urging safeguards

As artificial intelligence (AI) rapidly integrates into health care, a study by researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai reveals that all generative AI models may recommend different treatments for the same medical condition based solely on a patient's socioeconomic and demographic background.

Same Symptoms, Different Care: How AI’s Hidden Bias Alters Medical Decisions

AI tools designed to assist in medical decisions may not treat all patients equally. A new study shows that these systems sometimes alter care recommendations based on a patient’s background, even when their medical conditions are identical. Researchers at Mount Sinai tested leading generative AI models and found inconsistencies in treatment suggestions depending on socioeconomic [...]
