Medical AI's potential hinges on proper data usage and regulation. Poor design and biased datasets can lead to ineffective tools, especially for underrepresented patient groups.
Historically, women and people of color are underrepresented in medical research, leading to AI models that may not perform well for these demographics. This underrepresentation skews results.
AI systems, like those analyzing chest X-rays, can overfit on irrelevant data markers instead of learning clinically significant details, leading to poor patient outcomes in real scenarios.
Accurate headline scores can be misleading in AI diagnostics. An AI model with high identification accuracy could still consistently miss severe pathologies like aggressive tumors, impacting patient care.
