Incident 582: translated-fr-Racial Bias in Lung Function Diagnostic Algorithm Leads to Underdiagnosis in Black Men
Description: translated-fr-A study published in JAMA Network Open reveals that racial bias built into a commonly used medical diagnostic algorithm for lung function may be leading to underdiagnoses of breathing problems in Black men. The study suggests that as many as 40% more Black male patients might have been accurately diagnosed if the software were not racially biased. The software algorithm adjusts diagnostic thresholds based on race, affecting medical treatments and interventions.

NEW YORK (AP) – Les préjugés raciaux intégrés dans un test médical courant pour la fonction pulmonaire conduisent probablement à une diminution du nombre de patients noirs recevant des soins pour des problèmes respiratoires, suggère une étu…
Variantes
Une "Variante" est un incident de l'IA similaire à un cas connu—il a les mêmes causes, les mêmes dommages et le même système intelligent. Plutôt que de l'énumérer séparément, nous l'incluons sous le premier incident signalé. Contrairement aux autres incidents, les variantes n'ont pas besoin d'avoir été signalées en dehors de la base de données des incidents. En savoir plus sur le document de recherche.
