Experts say findings mean breast screenings for cancer could also flag cardiovascular problems in women
Using AI Made Doctors Worse at Spotting Cancer Without Assistance
A new study offers the latest evidence of potential “deskilling” effects on AI users.
How AI For Women’s Health Is Being Built Differently
Healthcare AI mirrors decades of gender bias. Women-led startups are rebuilding it to reduce misdiagnosis, dismissal, and fragmented care.
AI Could Set Back Women at Work. Here’s the Risk.
JP Morgan and Brookings research shows women face higher risks from AI due to lower representation, slower adoption, and job exposure.
AI model detects very early normally ‘invisible’ tissue changes of pancreatic cancer
An AI model (REDMOD) can pick up the very early subtle tissue changes of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, the most common form of pancreatic cancer, which conventional imaging and the human eye find difficult to detect, finds research published online in the journal Gut. As such, it offers the potential to shift an all too common late stage, terminal disease diagnosis to one that is at an early stage (stage 0) and treatable, say the researchers. While REDMOD was more accurate than experienced radiologists, it requires testing in high risk patients, defined as those with unexpected weight loss and newly diagnosed diabetes, before it can be widely used in clinical practice, they add.
Meta’s New AI Asked for My Raw Health Data—and Gave Me Terrible Advice
Meta’s Muse Spark model offers to analyze users’ health data, including lab results. Beyond the obvious privacy risks, it’s not a capable stand-in for a real doctor.
AI Is the Future—But Where Are the Women?
Just 12 percent of machine learning researchers are women—a worrying statistic for a field supposedly reshaping society.
The algorithm will see you now - Works in Progress Magazine
Radiology combines digital images, clear benchmarks, and repeatable tasks. But replacing humans with AI is harder than it seems.
Americans Turning to AI to Supplement Healthcare Visits
One in four Americans use AI for health information. Most do so to supplement care, but some are using AI in place of a provider visit when barriers arise.
Why women are more skeptical of AI than men, according to a new study
Drawing on survey data, the study finds that women consistently perceive AI as riskier, especially when its economic effects are uncertain.
Sheryl Sandberg: The AI gender gap is about recognition
New Lean In survey says bosses aren't giving women credit for using AI.
KFF Tracking Poll on Health Information and Trust: Use of AI For Health Information and Advice | KFF
This poll finds that about as many adults are turning to AI for health information as social media, with health care costs and access driving many users, particularly younger users.
AI Spots Pancreatic Cancer Years Before It Shows Up, Study Finds
An artificial intelligence system can spot pancreatic cancer long before it shows up on scans, raising the prospect of catching one of the deadliest tumors early enough to successfully treat, a study found.
Artificial Intelligence and Its Unique Threat to Women | Capitol Technology University
With the rise of artificial intelligence, the world is undergoing a big transformation. However, technology has been seen to display biases – and for women, this presents a complex set of challenges.
AI linked to explosion of low-quality biomedical research papers
Analysis flags hundreds of studies that seem to follow a template, reporting correlations between complex health conditions and single variables based on publicly available data sets.
New ILO data confirm women face higher workplace risks from generative AI than men
A new report finds that women face higher risks, as they are concentrated in tasks more prone to automation and remain underrepresented in technology and science fields.
