    If the AI diagnoses can avoid those same biases, it could actually be better for those groups especially.

    AVOID?

    What?

    Are we talking about the same company, Microsoft?

      If

      I don’t love Microsoft any more than anyone else here, and I get that “AI BAD” is the active group think on Lemmy and anything contrary to that gets immediate flak, but there are use cases for it, and accurate medical diagnoses for marginalized groups is a real problem. I don’t think Microsoft is specifically setting out to make shitty projects - like, that isn’t their mission statement, and if they, or any other AI company, can bypass existing biases in the industry, I’d call that a net positive.

        What evidence do you have that they have any realistic chance of success?
