So, the intended use in this case is most likely appalling, but just to answer your question anyway... a hypothetical automated medical diagnosis device may use “race” as a factor, given there are small genetic differences (e.g. sickle cell) that may influence medical decisions, and different ethnic groups do seem to have different patterns of illness (e.g. differences in Covid mortality rates that aren’t explained by socioeconomic status).
- kennywinker 6y agoI have a cool way an automated medical diagnosis device can reliably determine the race of a patient: ask them. Does not seem worth any of the potential risks (misdiagnosis due to a bad algorithm, ethnic oppression, etc) to avoid a single question
- swirepe 6y agoIs there a way we can use Deep Learning to ask the patient? I promised the shareholders Deep Learning.
