Generative AI can help doctors diagnose patients—but is it biased?

Generative AI can help doctors diagnose patients—but is it biased?

A new study by Annnenberg School for Communication professor Damon Centola tests if AI tools could help improve medical care without increasing bias. The findings suggest that “AI can meaningfully augment physician decision-making without introducing inequities in clinical decisions,” Centola says.
