AI-generated faces influence gender stereotypes and racial homogenization.

Scientific reports
Text-to-image generative AI models such as Stable Diffusion are used daily by millions worldwide. However, the extent to which these models exhibit racial and gender stereotypes is not yet fully understood. Here, we document significant biases in Sta...

The bias algorithm: how AI in healthcare exacerbates ethnic and racial disparities - a scoping review.

Ethnicity & health
This scoping review examined racial and ethnic bias in artificial intelligence health algorithms (AIHA), the role of stakeholders in oversight, and the consequences of AIHA for health equity. Using the PRISMA-ScR guidelines, databases were searched b...

AI generates covertly racist decisions about people based on their dialect.

Nature
Hundreds of millions of people now interact with language models, with uses ranging from help with writing to informing hiring decisions. However, these language models are known to perpetuate systematic racial prejudices, making their judgements bia...

Fairness in Predicting Cancer Mortality Across Racial Subgroups.

JAMA network open
IMPORTANCE: Machine learning has potential to transform cancer care by helping clinicians prioritize patients for serious illness conversations. However, models need to be evaluated for unequal performance across racial groups (ie, racial bias) so th...

Assessing fairness in machine learning models: A study of racial bias using matched counterparts in mortality prediction for patients with chronic diseases.

Journal of biomedical informatics
OBJECTIVE: Existing approaches to fairness evaluation often overlook systematic differences in the social determinants of health, like demographics and socioeconomics, among comparison groups, potentially leading to inaccurate or even contradictory c...

Exploring the Association Between Structural Racism and Mental Health: Geospatial and Machine Learning Analysis.

JMIR public health and surveillance

Word embeddings quantify 100 years of gender and ethnic stereotypes.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Word embeddings are a powerful machine-learning framework that represents each English word by a vector. The geometric relationship between these vectors captures meaningful semantic relationships between the corresponding words. In this paper, we de...
