Could computer algorithms mistakenly apply racial bias when analyzing photographs like these?
These monsters have to make everything about race.
I ‘m not too concerned about this AI ability.
I would have expected such a degree of sensitivity at some point. Something could make me change my mind and get worried , but not at this time.
CLEARLY X-rays are racist!
“which would be impossible for a human doctor looking at the same photos”
Nonsense. If an anthropologist or forensic pathologist can look at bones and tell the race, sex, and age, and if a dentist can look at only teeth and tell the race, sex, and age, then I’m sure any doctor could learn to tell the same things from an x-ray. They just haven’t bothered to try to learn such a skill, since they have no need of it.
wait, i thought Anthropologists have been doing it for decades?
programming their criteria into AI shouldn’t be all that difficult
specially with known reference imagery...
>> the patient’s claimed racial identification
Good grief
I wrote the algorythim that’s going to be used to detect domestic terrorists.
1 Check subjects political party
2 is the person a Democrat?
3 Yes = Not a terrorist
4 N0 = Is a terrorist.
I just saved millions of dollars.
Oh brother, science has been doing this forever. It’s how they know the race of remains. Race, when I was young had zip to do with color and everything to do with bone structure. If you’re not Asian, Native American, or Black then you’re Caucasian.

AI phrenology?
Can AI determine that I identify as a Bornean Elephant type of Republican and am an endangered species? Do they know that I can trample them and that they are prohibited from harming me in any way?
If AI can predict race, can predicting rac-ism be far behind?
Someone trained a model (taught the AI) with X-rays and normal pictures of a person with this interesting result. Not sure what they wanted to find. Maybe trying to find a way to diagnose without X-rays? This is not racist and if the prediction has a very high probability, it is just a fact. This is called knowledge that would normally be added to our scientific base that might be useful at some point. However, now it is verboten, and will be expunged.
Evidently some people spend every waking moment looking for nonsense to get hysterical about.
Could computer algorithms mistakenly apply racial bias
Just mayyyybe there are moral issues with the use of some technology?? Who woulda thunk it?
I heard a rumor that AI Bigots can tell the difference between a biological Male and a biological Female.
Shocking new evidence emerges that AI does not believe belief Trumps Biology.
dogmatists, dogmatizers, partisans, sectarians
doctrinaires, fanatics, purists
jingoists, nationalists
racialists, racists, supremacists
chauvinists, sexists
BAN THEM ALL
They are not predicting anything. If you have the physical attributes of ‘pick your type of human’ , that is simple categorization. If you want the AI to be racist, that will take additional programming.
I find this concern bizarre. Me = retired clinical pharmacist. The race of the person is important as different drug regimes are superior for some races and inferior for other races, in particular drugs for hypertension. Most of the drugs are indifferent to race but some are.
