AI imaging bias reduces diagnostic accuracy
Systematically biased artificial intelligence (AI) imaging models lower diagnostic accuracy by over 11 percentage points, according to research published December 19 in JAMA. A team led by Sarah Jabbour from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor also found that biased AI model predictions with explanations lowered accuracy by about nine percentage points. However, accuracy improved by over four percentage points when clinicians reviewed a patient clinical vignette with standard AI model predictions and model explanations compared with baseline measures. “Given the unprecedented pace of AI development, it is essential...
