    Sure you still have innate/learned biases but eliminating situational (recent divorce) and bodily (hunger/sleepy/horny/sick) bias entirely is still a massive reduction in the total amount of bias you face day to day. If anything being able to see the biases of the data going into something like NarxCare is a good thing because now you have a paper trail for improvements. You can’t just grab a hundred doctors and ask them “have you ever denied care due to your biases against women?” because the bad ones will either lie or not realize what they have done.

      I would genuinely rather work with a doctor who just got divorced than have to fight the invisiable AI blackbox that calls me a drug addict for being chronically ill.

      You can’t just grab a hundred doctors and ask them “have you ever denied care due to your biases against women?” because the bad ones will either lie or not realize what they have done.

      Unlike Narxcare, which just denies care due to biases and won’t tell you why because it’s a machine learning blackbox. There is no “paper trail” for NarxCare, because denying care to patients is the point. I can at least argue with doctors, or request a new one.

      You can’t fix social issues with technology, and every attempt will just make things worse for the affected people.
