The Basque Country is implementing Quantus Skin in its health clinics after an investment of 1.6 million euros. Specialists criticise the artificial intelligence developed by the Asisa subsidiary due to its “poor” and “dangerous” results. The algorithm has been trained only with data from white patients.
If someone with dark skin gets a real doctor to look at them, because it’s known that this thing doesn’t work at all in their case, then they are better off, really.
Though I get the point, I would caution against calling “racism!” on AI not being able to detect molea or cancers well on people with darker skin; its harder to see darker areas on darker skins. That is physics, not racism
Think more about the intended audience.
This isn’t about melanoma. The media has been pushing yellow journalism like this regarding AI since it became big.
It’s similar to how right wing media would push headlines about immigrant invasions. Hating on AI is the left’s version of illegal immigrants.
It’s, going to erase me?
Who said that?
