Sumario: | We are at a pivotal moment in the development of healthcare artificial intelligence (AI), a point at which enthusiasm for machine learning has not caught up with the scientific evidence to support the equity and accuracy of diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms. This proposal examines algorithmic biases, including those related to race, gender and socioeconomic status, and accuracy, including the paucity of prospective studies and lack of multisite validation. We then suggest solutions to these problems. We describe the Mayo Clinic, Duke University, Change Healthcare project that is evaluating 35.1 billion healthcare records for bias. And we propose ‘Ingredients’ style labels and an AI evaluation/testing system to help clinicians judge the merits of products and services that include algorithms. Said testing would include input data sources and types, dataset population composition, algorithm validation techniques, bias assessment evaluation and performance metrics. |
