AI summaries can downplay medical issues for female patients, Intel's CEO successfully wooed President Trump, and Revel is ending its ridesharing operation
The latest example of bias permeating artificial intelligence comes from the medical field. A new study surveyed real case notes from 617 adult social care workers in the UK and found that when large language models summarized the notes, they were more likely to omit language such as "disabled," "unable" or "complex" when the patient was tagged as female, which could lead to women receiving insufficient or inaccurate medical care. In other news, President Trump no longer thinks Intel's CEO should resign. Trump revealed on Truth Social that he met with Lip-Bu Tan and described it as "a very interesting one." Also, Revel Transit is shutting down its rideshare operation in NYC, as reported by Bloomberg. The company will instead focus its efforts on EV charging.
