00:00AI gives worse care to women and minorities.

00:04AI, touted as a cutting-edge healthcare tool, reveals ingrained biases from historical medical

00:14Financial Times report.

00:16For years, clinical trials focused on white male subjects skewing datasets.

00:20Unsurprisingly, AI outputs from these datasets aren't equitable.

00:24Researchers at MIT tested AI models like GPT-4 and LAMA-3, finding them biased towards

00:31women, often suggesting they self-manage at home.

00:34Healthcare-focused Palmyra Med showed similar issues.

00:38Researchers found Google's GEMMA model minimized women's needs, while GPT-4, stereotyped

00:42by race, gender, and ethnicity, recommending costly treatments on a demographic basis.

00:48Compassion for people of color dealing with mental health concerns?

00:52This is more than a technical glitch, lives are at stake, not likes.

00:56Earlier this year, Google's Medgemini even invented a body part, an error that's at least

01:01easy to spot.

01:03Bias however remains elusive within AI systems, raising concerns over unnoticed medical prejudices

01:08during patient care.
