Researchers: AI Could Cause Harm If Misused by Medical Workers

Beginning

A study led by the Stanford School of Medicine in California says hospitals and health care systems are turning to artificial intelligence (AI). The health care providers are using AI systems to organize doctors’ notes on patients’ health and to examine health records.

However, the researchers warn that popular AI tools contain incorrect medical ideas or ideas the researchers described as “racist.” Some are concerned that the tools could worsen health disparities for Black patients.

The study was published this month in Digital Medicine. Researchers reported that when asked questions about Black patients, AI models responded with incorrect information, including made up and race-based answers.
