A new study raises concerns regarding responsible AI in health care. Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai found that AI models can make different treatment recommendations for the same medical condition based on a patient's socioeconomic and demographic background. This highlights the need for safeguards to ensure that AI-driven medical care is both safe, effective, and appropriate for everyone.
