Can AI help improve racial disparities in healthcare?

Ibrahim and Pronovost believe, however, that the proliferation of big data and associated AI techniques offers an opportunity to detect and address diagnostic disparities. As an example of this potential, they pointed to a study published in Nature Medicine in January that detailed how a deep-learning algorithm could measure osteoarthritis severity on radiographs by predicting patient-reported pain. The model's results significantly reduced racial disparities in pain management.
