Bias in medical AI: Implications for clinical decision-making
Biases in medical artificial intelligence (AI) arise and compound throughout the AI lifecycle. These biases can have significant clinical consequences, especially in applications that involve clinical decision-making. Left unaddressed, biased medical AI can lead to substandard clinical decisions and the perpetuation and exacerbation of longstanding healthcare disparities. We discuss potential biases that can arise at different stages in the AI development pipeline and how they can affect AI algorithms and clinic…
Biased medical AI can lead to substandard clinical decisions and perpetuate healthcare disparities, with performance deteriorating differentially across patient subgroups when deployed outside training cohorts.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0278 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
