AI models can be racially biased when trained on unbalanced data sets, researchers find | King’s College London
They found that where AI models are used, misdiagnoses would occur for under or non-represented races. Using the UK Biobank, a large-scale biomedical database, researchers from the School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences have found that AI models can be racially biased if they are trained on unbalanced databases, meaning where AI models are…
