And how this is an "ethics" issue? It is simply bad data which should be corrected according to the goal of the system (giving a proper diagnosis).
If I construct a ML system to classify animals into kingdoms but my data is lacking e.g. cats so it skews the results away from the goal is that an ethical issue?

You must correct the bad data before using it for actual patient care to avoid an ethics issue. This means we must consider the potential ethics issues of its use prior to implementation, right? > If I construct a ML system to classify animals into kingdoms but my data is lacking e.g. cats so it skews the results away from the goal is that an ethical issue? If you wind up mistreating cats as a result, sure.
- margorczynski 3y agoAgain, I don't see anything in what you've said as an ethics issue. Ethics issues are about choice - here it is a matter of mistake and bad data.
- ceejayoz 3y agoThe choice to use a flawed model to care for patients is an ethical question, one we are increasingly likely to be confronted with in the next few years.
- ameister14 3y agoIt's theoretically a medical ethics issue because the system is not ready for deployment, so early use could be counter to competent medical care or the standards of professionalism, both of which would be violations of the AMA principles of medical ethics.
