"This is especially concerning when it comes to medical data, which weighs heavily in the favor of white men."
None of the sources within the same paragraph corroborate this. They simply say that medical studies are biased, but they mention that it's more as a result of drug companies trying to select the patients that will perform best in trials, and don't mention anything about a bias towards while males.
In my mind this makes the article especially flawed, since this claim is the essential premise on how AI could affect minorities. I'm willing to be corrected, however. Until then, I'm going to continue to operate under the assumption that this is an author making stuff up for a trendy headline.
