Personally think 'race' is nothing more than a fantastical vanity construct. Really its tribalism. Furthermore, I find it hard as well to comprehend how it holds weight in the medical industry. Race is not real science. Race is entertainment science. AI is mostly entertainment science.

Respectfully to the downvotes, race is an unreliable identifier as mixed race populations completely upend the results: https://www.pinterest.com/Biraciality/ https://www.pinterest.com/Biraciality/ Is there an American race? What does a pure American look like? The term race is a self-identifier (what tribe do i belong in) and not biological. Really the same thing as saying "I'm a northerner" or "I'm a southerner". If AI were to sample datasets from each group, we'd unreservedly say there's a northern race and a southern race.
