A conceptually related finding that computer vsion models can effectively classify patient race from significantly noised x-ray images https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.10356 https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.10356 > However, our findings that AI can trivially predict self-reported race -- even from corrupted, cropped, and noised medical images -- in a setting where clinical experts cannot, creates an enormous risk for all model deployments in medical imaging: if an AI model secretly used its knowledge of self-reported race to misclassify all Black patients, radiologists would not be able to tell using the same data the model has access to. Potentially the method in OP's paper could be used as an adversarial critic or similar counterbalancing effort to eliminate "secret knowledge" when it's not desirable.
